Summer pictures

A frolic at the beach, Lake Superior feels very much like an unsalty ocean.

Anniversary trip

While Grammy was here in August, Chris and I took an overnight trip to Coppper Harbor to celebrate our tenth anniversary. On the way north, we stopped at Bete Gris beach for a swim.

Naomi took a picture of lavender for Aunt Lisa.

Our blue hydrangeas are happy this year as well.

We had to drive up to Brockway Mountain (the highest peak between the Rockies and the Alleganies) in order to call home on our cell phones.

On our trip we kayaked, hiked, picked wild thimbleberries, raspberries and blueberries and dined at the Harbor Haus. We didn't talk about the kids at all! It was our first time alone overnight since 2001! Thank you Grammy for keeping our girls safe and happy.
