Family Vacay Day 4

Our last day was equally as beautiful as the day before. We had to pack up our hotel room so we spent most of the morning packing bags and loading up the car. Took a few pictures on our deck. We took a final walk around the hotel before going to breakfast at one of our other "new places to try": Roast and Toast. I just had a bagel and granola while Nathan tried one of their breakfast wraps and a cinnamon roll.

We made a quick stop in Harbor Springs on the way out. There is an art gallery on the main road that had a giant bird made out of recycled metal. For years I've been telling Nathan we should stop and take a picture and he finally obliged me!

From there we started our trip back home.  Four hours later it was back to reality :-(

Just for fun, here are a few photos we took that evening once we were back home. Chloe loves Megan's play yard and is constantly trying to share it with her. Megan thinks it's so funny when she does this...

Randomness in the month of May

Chloe running around outside between church and Sabbath School. This girl has so much energy to burn she has got to get it out of her system at some point while we're out at church. (Doesn't her dress make you crave rainbow sherbert?)

Now we're back at home.  More energy to burn.

Megan turned 12 weeks on Memorial Day. I tried putting her crazy hair back with a barrette. I love this watermelon outfit!

Playing with bubbles on a visit to see Grandpa Roush and Grandma Chris.

Having lunch with Rachel and Christy.

 And finally...the best thing about May is our anniversary. On May 31st we celebrated four years of marriage. Each year it's our tradition to buy a piece(s) of hummingbird cake. It was one of three flavors we had in our wedding cake (chocolate with buttercream frosting and vanilla chiffon with raspberry cream filling were the other two in case you were interested).  So here in our hummingbird cake slice...except this year Nathan made it! So we had some homemade cake. Super good.

Ann Arbor Farmer's Market

Once or twice a month I brave the farmer's market with the girls. Our first big trip for the summer was short but productive. I got some rhubarb as my "new thing" (as in "I don't usually cook with this but I'll get it and be adventurous") and some other produce. Nathan loves farm fresh eggs so there's a lady I buy from each time we go. Nathan and I had been to one of the evening markets which is much smaller, so I told him I'd shoot some quick pics to show him what it looks like in full bloom. While I was taking photos a lady at one of the stands offered to take our picture. It's sorta funny because Chloe was being really cranky that morning so she wouldn't smile. It's SO unlike her to be that way so looking at this picture makes me laugh. And vow to go on at diet to lose the baby weight. And try to remember to bring the double stroller next time.

This is what I did with my rhubarb -- I made a crisp! It turned out to be so delicious! I'll be making it again this summer. I might even start getting rhubarb every time I go.
