Up North

This weekend, we went up north to the Hofmeyer's cottage. We got in Friday night and went out to dinner in Interlochen. After Will went to bed, we were able to build a fire and sit outside for a few hours. Saturday morning we woke up to rain so we spent a few hours playing and reading in the cottage. By 10:30 the rain let up, so we stopped in Interlochen to see their art fair before heading to Traverse City. We did a little shopping and then had lunch where we were able to watch the Michigan game. Will obviously wouldn't sit through the entire game so Kristen and Will wandered Traverse while Phil watch the rest of the game. We went down by the water and Will had a great time chasing after ducks. He also loves sitting at picnic tables (you'll notice a trend in the photos below) and insists that you sit across from him. Saturday night we ordered in pizza because we were all pretty tired from our day out. Sunday we had a campfire and played around the cottage before heading home. It was a great weekend!
