Relaxing days at Paw Paw Lake

Our next stop on our journey across MI was in a little town called Watervliet where Doug has a cute little cottage on the lake. He was kind enough to host us for 2 days. It was a rather relaxing 2 days and we spent time just hanging out by the lake and taking walks.

One of the days we were there, it was our 9th anniversary. I tried to get a picture of Alan and I together but the kids kept butting in which i found hilarious!!!

Those pesky kids!!!

Oh well.. family pics then!

We're not trying to drown them.. i swear..

Our crazy family!

Doug's cottage is a real antique cottage that has been in his family for 50 odd years. I have many fond memories of warm summer days when i was still living in MI. The kids liked exploring it too especially the antique beds!
