Another glorious summer weekend… my family and I borrowed a cabin from a friend of a friend on Pine Lake near Plainwell, MI for a great little family retreat. What a beautiful place! We had a wonderful time together, lots of time on the beach, boat and in the water along with a very interesting talent show! And of course some fabulous food too- we sure know how to cook!
Here are a few of my favorites from the weekend.

All of us! (And yes, I did take this picture… love my self-timer!)

For the 4th of July holiday, my family and I went camping up in Atlanta, MI. We stayed on Clear Lake which was absolutely gorgeous- so blue it looked like the Caribbean! Nice campground and hiking trails too.

As I walked along the trail on our first night there, I caught this moment in the woods:

So many picturesque spots to take in… one of the railings along the trail:

An early morning walk led us to the shore of the lake as the sun was just warming up:
