Sunday
Arrive in Arcadia about 3:00 and set up camp. Got the dogs used to things (well mainly Miller who had never been there). And then enjoyed sitting outside in the shade, not driving. That night we took the dogs to the beach for the first time. Joey loved it and well Miller wasn't so sure but he loved eating the sand.
All my boys
Lake Michigan was like glass... calmer than I've ever seen it.
All tuckered out for the night
Monday - After our first night at the cottage we were up and at them so we could play golf at 8:52, and woke up to a puppy and toy duck full of poop. So into the tub they went and was all clean for the moment. Ryan and I then headed to Crystal Lake to play golf - only a dollar a hole. First nine, Ryan played great and the back nine I played pretty good. But after about 15 holes we were both done. It was really hot, no breeze. So we finished up and headed for ice cream to cool us down and then went to a great antique store looking for some cool old signs for the man cave, but didn't find any that were in our budget. But I did find a donut cutter! And mom said it was a good one! We finished the night with a beautiful sunset and walk on the beach - just humans.

Tuesday is the day you go to the Amish store and get fresh bread and cinnamon rolls right out of the oven and they are so worth it. And of course there is always other things to get too - like apple pie and yogurt pretzels. Then back home for the nice relaxing day. We also went to the beach for a couple hours. We also attempted our first walk with both dogs. Joey was fine but Miller decided that he was too cool to walk the normal way on the leash and he preferred this method. We were also joined by the Welden's on Tuesday night.
Wednesday. Happy 4th of July! I can't believe how fast our vacation is going. I'd just like it to slow down a little, please. Today was a hot one! Before breakfast we took the dogs and kids to the beach. This time Miller was a little better but still ate a lot of sand. Joey retrieved the stick a few times and then Kahle decided to do the retrieving.
We also got to try out a stand up paddle board and after that, Ryan and I decided we needed a couple of those... well that is until we saw the price. Might have to wait until next summer to get one.
The board wasn't quite sized for Ryan... he was a little too big, but still made it look easy, well except for this fall.
Thursday... our last full day in Arcadia. Started with some yummy french toast and bacon and then a nice relaxing day sitting in the shade as it was so hot there. Then a little beach time and some quality time up at camp getting ice cream and playing ping pong (which I can horrible at) and a little shuffle board with mom. I of course did not win.

An amazing honeymoon, vacation and family get-to-together. And now back to reality!
