LIME LAKE, JULY 5-12, 2009

We rented a cottage at Lime Lake near Glen Arbor in northwestern Michigan and gathered our entire family for a whole week.  How “wonderful”  to have our children, their spouses and our 4 grandchildren all together.

The week went by so fast and I wish we could do this more often.  It was especially gratifying to see our California and Michigan grandkids bond with each other.  Notice Garrett holding Molly’s hand in these next two pictures—priceless!
