Family Vacay in New Buffalo

We finally made it back to New Buffalo with my family for a vacation! The pandemic had sent us to other locations the past few years. Here is a photo dump from the week. These are not really in order. :)

Packed full.. on our way!

Avery with her bestie Calvin - walking to check out the beach

Trying out the new slide Brett brought

Thumbs up!

A little iPad time

Rainy day = movie!

We swam SO much!

She's part fish!

The kids and.... Matt!

Night swims were the best!

The hot tub had fun lights

Avery loves to pose

Loading them up with all kinds of goodies

Spaghetti is so messy!

And of course, the gigantic fountain in St. Joseph

Enjoying my beer from the Kropscott vacy in Ludington

Nice job Avery! Ha!

I think Nolan left a little early!

They really tried to make the moat fill up with water - no luck!

Someone buried Papa's feet

Morgan and Daddy

Pretty sure she's throwing a rock, but looks like some sort of power pose :)

Grayson and Morgan

Avery doing gymnastics at the beach... again.

No luck finding actual sand toys at the store, so these had to do. :)

Silly family picture with the shirts Aunt Sandi made us all

Normal family pic - love these shirts!

Cousins!

Sisters!

Night swim in the hot tub

Posing in front of the lights

The sun makes Avery's hair look like it's on fire!

Of course, Morgan makes a canine friend!

Hitting Oink's of course!

Ready for the family pictures

Family pictures - will post more of these later

Oink's - yum!

As always, we had a blast in New Buffalo! I have so many more pictures and memories from the week. I may try to add another post to capture some of those. But I will leave you with our favorite jokes from the youngest of the family, Calvin. He had some really off the wall jokes - ha!

What do you call a tree with no bark?
A lamp.

What do you call water without water?
Gatorade.
