Hall Family Vacation

I highly recommend taking a vacation at Torch Lake, MI. You might spend your whole time trying to keep up with your four-year-old who rides a bike with training wheels - on the ROAD and isn't afraid of the water anymore. But one day your brother will take that kid down to the basement and teach him how to play video games, and you'll finally get a nap.

The lake was beautiful and the week was fun. Here are some of my favorite pictures.


Aunt Heather brings all the best toys, as usual.


Just throwin' my arm 'round my brother.


Look who popped up in the fern prairie!


Ohmygawwwd, Mom! No more pictures!


Owen!


The scenic interlude. Look at how the lake changes to turquoise out there. Gorgeous. The water was as clear as drinking water.


Those are some cute cousins.


Just me, memorizing the weight of him.

What does the toy in picture #1 do?

It's called a "stomp rocket". You stomp (or jump) on the yellow pump - that flat-ish round thing, and then the yellow and gray rocket on the other end shoots up into the air. Very satisfying toy!

Love your pictures, especially the fern sea. Glad you had a happy vacay!
