This year we have rented a bigger house in Holland, walking distance to Lake Michigan. The beach here is very nice, shallow for a long distance out. We've swum, kayaked, played badminton, and gone for a bike ride. We have watched movies at the house and also took advantage of one rainy afternoon to see Despicable Me 2.
We have read and read and read. J-dude has watched lots of cable sports channels that I don't get at home.
Something for everyone.
Today's highlight was a trip to pick blueberries. We went to the Gold Barn Blueberry Farm, about a 5 minute drive away. In about 20 minutes the kids and I had picked about 20 pints. We froze some, ate some, saved a few to snack on today, and a pie is in the oven as I type this blog!!! I have to say it was easier than shooting fish in a barrel. Not that I would do that. But I will definitely be going back to Gold Barn this week!!!
Tomorrow we will hit the Farmer's Market. The rest depends on Mother Nature...
