My Vacation back to the Mitten



James and I went back to the mitten for a vacation.
When he came home with me at christmas time, he was only there for a few days,
in the winter when michigan is a frozen tundra.

So this time he really got to experience michigan at its finest.
Summer!
These pics are from our vacation.

This is the pic of the sunset on the way to the airport.
Yes we saw the sun come up.
We had to drop his dogs off at his brother's house
which is an hour north of denver
and then still head to the airport.
Sweet brandy (one of james' dogs) curled up in my backseat on the way up.
yeah as you can see she is laying on a blanket,
I may like my car clean and have issues with my stuff
getting dirty :o)
James up north,
holding a fresh water 'jellyfish' and that is
according to my dad.
So I don't know about that.
I couldn't touch the thing, it way
grossed me out!
James is in true michigander style here!
Relaxing up north
while driving the pontoon boat.
Looks like he grew up doing that!
My dad's odd dog, maggie!
As we were riding in the back of the rhino
which is like a souped up golf cart.
Riding around in the woods,
maggie would try and bite the branches as were passing the trees.
She is such an odd dog.

I will try and post my video later, but she
absolutely loved doing this!
so funny :)
James attempting to find more freshwater jellyfish as
he was snorkeling in the lake.
He had so much fun doing this,
it was like he was a little boy!

taking a pic of me putting my
sundress over my suit.
Don't worry I was not starring at my boobs ;)
James and I on the boat
No make up baby!
Just blue eyes :)
Oh Lake michigan sunsets,
how I miss you!
James and I on the pier
out at holland.
katie and sunset
Sweet kendall with her curls and an odd smile
She is the sweetest little girl ever.
She also fell in love with James.
and was attached to him more then she was attached to me I think.

At one point while I was trying to take a nap,
kendall crawled into bed with me
and looked at me so sweet with her little doe eyes
and says katie,
me: yes kendall
kendall: I am so happy that...... ( I am thinking she is going to tell me that I am home, oh no)

...james is home.
me: what? what about me, your aunt katie?
kendall: I just missed him so much.

That little stinker!
Well I guess she does have good taste, just like her auntie.
James is one of a kind.
A great man, with a heart of gold.
A soft teddy bear under it all.

Here they are watching tv.
neither of them knew I took this pic with my phone.
Got to see my sweet friend kellie,
who is preggers and at about 18 weeks.
Although she wasn't really showing,
but it is always good to see her.

She is one of my friends that no matter how much time has
passed since the last time I saw her
we always connect and laugh so hard.
Kellie also has one of the best laughs known to man too.
She laughs like an old grandpa,
if you know her you know exactly what I am talking about :)

She is the best and I will always be close with her!
Aubrey with my cute headband on.
She looked adorable in it.
Wish I could say the same about james' face in the background!
showed you a michigan sunset,
well this is a colorado sunset on the way home!
beautiful with the sun setting over the mountains.
oh how I love my colorado!
