Michigan Trip!!!

The end of June we took a 5-day trip to the UP of Michigan to visit family. I didn't get nearly as many pictures as I would've liked, but here are a "few" good ones!

Grandpa & Grandma Johnson's camp, aka "Willie's World" where we stayed. They have jet-skis, a pontoon boat, trampoline, hammocks, swings, playhouse, treehouse, sauna and most importantly, lots of family!

The firepit

The lake.

We all had a blast swimming, jet-skiing and tubing!

Anja loved the water!!

Emmy, getting back from a swim out to the raft.

Grace and Elsie spent the majority of their time in the paddle boat or swimming to the raft, but they also had fun playing in the water.

Zack, Grace and Emmy looking for fish.

Isaac on the jet-ski!

Ike & Zack having fun on the jet-skiis!

Wow, what a splash!!

It's a lot of fun to get soaked by the spray!

Dana and Aliisa

We got to see almost all of Mom's Mom's side of the family while we were up there, which was wonderful!

Aunt Jana

Aunt Ginelle and Anja

Mom and Jake-man!!

Dana and Aliisa

Dad and Grandpa Johnson

Grandpa Johnson and Jake!

Aleks and Zack take a break from cleaning to have an oreo (or two!)

Ikey!!

We brought the trailer for all our luggage because on the way home we were either going to be full or have only 1 empty seat. Dad is quite the master-packer, and he surprised us all by getting everything we brought plus a bunch of extra stuff in the bins.

Ready to get loaded up.

He's still smiling!


Another post with LOTS of pictures coming [hopefully!] soon!
