We were able to spend last week at my family cabin in the U.P. on Brevort Lake and Ella experienced lots of firsts and was able to get lots of love from her Grandma and Grandpa Boehm, Aunt Mel and Uncle Steve and even Grandma Hund! Mel and Steve were there for the first weekend and then Mom and Dad stayed with us all week in their View.
We started by celebrating Mel and Dad's recent birthday's
Dad almost always celebrates his birthday at the cabin! |

Uncle Steve decided that it would be ok to hold Ella. He really didn't look as nervous as this picture shows but this was the best I got, all the others were blurry!
Dad was able to get the boat in the water on Sunday after the wind died down a little. This was a first for the Flex - towing! And a first for me as I drove to the launch with the boat in tow! (I let Dad do the actual launching though)
I decided to save on some packing and let Ella sleep in the Minnow room bunk beds! She apparently loved it because she slept all night while we were there - sometimes 9 hour stretches! (another first!) She also enjoyed playing in her bed - although she was not ready for bunk bed gymnastics yet.

Sunday I got a text from my high school friend Michelle asking if I happened to be at the cabin since she was in St. Ignace with her husband Austin! I was so excited for this surprise visit! They were able to come out for the evening and have dinner and catch up - so fun :)
