Elk Lake vacation Part 2

Continuing the photo collection....

View of Elk Lake from their cottage.  Stunning views and colors!

Saturday, we went into the town of Elk Rapids for ditty shopping and to play on the beach.  The town beach is on a protected section of Lake Michigan, and you can see Old Mission Peninsula across the bay.  It also has Elk River running through it, so the kids waded upstream, then floated downstream to Lake Michigan.  Over, and over, and over!

 Sunday was our last day of vacation, and it was bittersweet.  The kids got in as much swimming, kayaking, and tubing as they could!  We're so thankful to our friends for inviting us up to their cottage.  The week was amazing - we all got along so well and had a great time together.  And the weather and views couldn't have been nicer!

Today we laid low at home.  Katie had tutoring and allergy shots, otherwise, we stayed home and vegged out.  We watched a movie this afternoon, and I painted all of the girls' nails.  Also this afternoon, Megan pulled out another tooth!  This time on the top left.  She has a lot of holes now!  She wanted to walk to DQ to celebrate, so of course we went!  She and I shared an Oreo blizzard, and Katie and Jessica shared the brand new Candy Shop blizzard - yum!
