The Kees' Story: Tanner's first trip to Michigan!

Every summer (with the exception for last summer due to my pregnancy) we head to Michigan for about two weeks. Nate's family has a "cottage" on the lake. I appreciate that they refer to it as a "cottage", but a 5-bedroom, 4-bath house is not quite what I think of when I think of a "cottage". It is beautiful! The whole place. I love going there! It is so much fun.

This was our first summer with a little one, and man, was it fun! Tanner had his first boat ride, went on his first jet ski with Daddy, floated on his back (in his life jacket, don't worry) in the lake, and played for hours on end in the kiddie pool in the yard. Our already blonde little man, is tan and even blonder. Too cute!

Here are some pictures, please enjoy. :)

First actual experience in the lake... he wasn't so sure what to think at first. But as you can see... he loved it!

He loved it so much... Nate took him for a jetski ride. He had so much fun he fell asleep. Too cute!
