We got back today from our beach vacation in Michigan. This year we rented a house right on the beach in a small private community. The house was a beautiful old (1896) house with a huge wrap around porch that we spent much of our time on. We went with Brian's parents, aunt, uncle, and cousin, and his sisters, brother-in-law and nephew. There were 14 of us including the babies. My mom and dad also visited for the weekend (but stayed on their boat in the nearby marina). The weather was about as good as you could ask for. It was sunny and warm during the days, cool at nights. We had 2 really amazing thunderstorms over the lake at night. We spent almost all of our time at the beach, which was so close to the house that I could take the monitor if Emily was asleep. The kids (okay, the adults too) had tons of fun splashing around in the waves and building castles in the sand. There was a volleyball net right outside the porch and sidewalks all around where Elijah and Sam rode scooters. Taking a vacation with your family is the best way to go with small kids. Stop me if I've said this before. It is so nice to have so many extra hands for slathering sunscreen, holding babies, carrying stuff, reading books, and generally entertaining them.
