We wen't to St. Joe for the weekend and stayed at my parents' house in hopes of getting in a lot of family time. It was a great weekend! It was the perfect combination of being lazy around their house, and going out.
Saturday we had my niece, Lily's first birthday party, followed by watching the U of M game. Sunday we slept in, and then spent the afternoon downtown with my siblings. Then Sunday night we had a date night at my favorite restaurant - Clementine's! And Monday we FINALLY made a trip to the beach - for the first time this summer!
Unfortunately, Liam didn't care for the water. We thought he'd LOVE swimming because he loves taking baths, but I think the noise of the boats, people, etc scared him. We've been learning lately that loud noises do scare him. For example, while going for a walk last weekend we stopped to watch a train pass, and he cried the whole time. Poor little guy. Anyway, it was a fun little getaway and a good end to the summer.

Saturday afternoon the 3 of us decided to go for a run. 5 minutes into it, it started to rain and we were completely soaked by the time we made it home. |

Sunday morning watching cartoons. I think we're going to get him a boy version of this chair for Christmas. He LOVED it! |

Liam's first time riding the carousel. Again, he cried the whole time because of the noise. We'll try it again next summer! |

Adios, summer! You will be missed!
