Update

Charlotte is doing much better. We went back to the dentist this week and the tooth is still a little bit loose but it's not bothering her anymore. He wants to see her in about a month and said he might pull it out if it's still loose. Hopefully that doesn't happen, but oh well if it does. It'll grow back, right? In a couple years anyway.

Last weekend we went on a road trip. We wanted to go to Lake Michigan but the weather was not cooperating as it was 60 degrees and raining. We wanted to go somewhere so we decided on Traverse City which is about 2 hours to the north. On the way, we saw the sign for Sleeping Bear Dunes. Nathan had been there for school once and thought we would like it so we decided to stop there too. He remembered where there was a lighthouse so that is where we stopped first. Charlotte was too little to go up so just Brooke and I went up in the lighthouse. It was very steep and narrow, which is why you had to be a certain height. Nathan and Charlotte walked around while we were up in the lighthouse. Unfortunately I forgot my camera so I have no pictures to show for the day. The girls would've had tons of fun playing in the sand dunes if the weather would've been nicer, but we didn't even go to that park of the park. We stopped at the Visitor's Center and got some postcards and looked at some pictures and learned about some of the history of the dunes.

After we left we drove to Traverse City. We really had no plan, we just wanted to drive through. It is also right on the lake with lots of nice touristy shops and hotels. We never even got out of the car. But we did get lost. We kept driving and driving to find our way back to the main road but kept finding all these little lakes and river. I think we were driving around with no idea where we were going for about an hour. Oh well, we got to see parts of Michigan we had never seen before.

We haven't been doing much of anything else. The kids are getting reacquainted with all their neighborhood friends. School starts for Nathan tomorrow but not for the kids until after Labor Day. Hopefully Labor Day weekend will have better weather so we can go to Lake Michigan.
