Our good friends Ryan and Holly Drown invited us to the family lake cottage in Six Lakes, Michigan to spend time with them and their boys Clayton, Ben and Ethan at the end of July. What a wonderful time we had....swimming, boat rides, fishing, catching turtles, lazy days/nights on the porch, lakeside picnics. It was such a peaceful time.
Taylor and Clayton enjoying s'mores by the lake. Yummy!
This was just one of the beautiful sunsets we enjoyed each evening.
Fishing off the dock with Daddy.
Taylor had a great time playing in the sand and swimming.
Clayton and Taylor having fun in the sun.
My beautiful girl!
Cutie swimming boy!
The kids even had big fun indoors! All 5 of them decided it would be fun to play under the dining room table - silly!
More fishing off the dock before bedtime (notice they have their jammies on).
Even vacations can have time outs. Clayton and Taylor played great together the majority of the vacation, but you know you can't get 2 three year olds together 24/7 for 4 days without there being a little friction. :)

Clayton and Taylor picking out which ice cream they wanted at the local store, Kramer's Market. This is one of those lake community stores that has just about everything, but is best known as the candy/ice cream store. 
Miss Holly and Taylor both chose mint chocolate chip - yum!
Who can lick faster?!
Oh my - look at those faces.
One of the highlights of our stay was these 2 swans that came to visit each night. Taylor and Clayton thought it was so neat to feed the swans bread.
An evening boat ride was a perfect way to spend our last night at the lake.
Thank you so much Ryan and Holly for sharing your vacation with us. We have so many special memories from our time together!
More later...
