it seems i have failed at recapping our summer on time. here is a big update.
we spent the first two weeks of july at lake fremont in fremont, michigan. dave will tell you that its his favorite place in the world..and now beniah knows why! we drove throughout the night, taking turns along the way, so beniah could sleep in the car. when we stopped halfway in denver we got to spend the day with dave's brother and sister in law, steve and kristen. they were gracious enough to take beniah out to the denver children's musuem in the afternoon so dave and i could nap.

| b talked about the fire truck for another week after this trip |

then we made our way to lake fremont for (almost) two full weeks of eating, talking, laughing, eating, swimming, and hanging with family.

quick story from the trip: we had put beniah down for the night and were watching an episode of mad men with dave's parents when we hear him screaming. mimi goes upstairs to investigate and when she finally calms him down he points to my icy hot container. i take him in the bathroom and scrub him down, fingers, arms, and eyes included. afterward dave is in bed with him settling him back down to go to bed and beniah says to dave, "dada, thats not for my bottom," (the container looks like his diaper rash cream container) and dave says, "no, no buddy, thats not for your bottom". benaih again tells him, "dada thats not for my lips," (the icy hot is similar consistency to vaseline which i use on my lips) and dave says, "no, no buddy, thats not for your lips." finally beniah looks at him and says, "dada, thats not for my eyes," and dave again says almost through laughing "no, no buddy, thats not for you eyes." now he knows what icy hot is for: mama's back.

Hello friends! Eileen shared your blog with me a while back and I LOVE it. AND I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU KNOW FREMONT, MI!!! I grew up about an hour from there, but my family's cabin is in Newaygo, which is literally only about 15 minutes from Fremont. I didn't know anyone knew of Fremont, unless of course they are in the babyfood industry. I love that your love for the outdoors is so close to ours. Too bad we were there just about a week after you left!
Lol, come on Abby, the Baby Food Festival was ranked as like the worst festival of all time!
And we know Newaygo, we are usually there the first two weeks of July if you are around we should defiantly connect.
