Michigan part 2

I have a million pictures of Michigan that I love and want to post for my blurbing purposes, (Kristin took most of them) so here they are. The boys had so much fun swimming, doing sparklers, playing in the sprinklers, eating ice cream, going to the gardens, and dipping treats in Grandma's chocolate fountain. The funniest part of the trip, for me, was Jackson and Alexis making up a game they called "Calico." Calico (Sp?) is the bad guy from the movie BOLT. Grandma Jones gave all the kids their own flashlight. They went downstairs and made up a game where the uncles were Calico. The uncles had to hide in the dark and then the cousins would come find them. All the little kids had their flashlights on and if they shined their light on "Calico", he would die, dramatically. They LOVED this game and wanted to play it over and over. The uncles gave a very impressive performance. Uncles are awesome.

I'll also never forget Lincoln playing Calico and becoming very concerned when, "Uncle Nick found poop! Why?"

Great pictures, Shelly! It looks like you guys had a blast. I never appreciated summers as much as I do now, as a mother. I need to call you sometime so we can catch up a little bit. I hope all is well!
