Weekend in Michigan

We have friends (I swear!! You might remember their wedding in Michigan last year) who have a lakehouse in Michigan.  They invited us up for the weekend to close out the summer.  We jumped on that! Yay lakes! 

It was a 7.5+ hour drive to Greenbush.  That is a LONG drive.  But Andrew entertained us by jamming out to some tunes.

 We got there and Beer Pong was already in full effect.  So was the mini shuffleboard table. Games galore in the garage! We got there at 2 in the morning so of course we had to stay up for a couple games. That's just what you do.

 We are classy kids who play beer pong with water in the cups.  I mean, come on.  We can drink our own drinks AND there's no spread of germs.  Win-win!

 In the morning we woke up to this beautiful view.  Ahhh lake life.  Like the sign in the house says, "If you're lucky enough to live on a lake, you're lucky enough."

 We started the morning with some seabreezes and green Vegas sunglasses.

 We decided it was too hot to continue sitting on the patio (I mean, there's water RIGHT THERE) so we moved out to the water.  What an awesome set up.  Perfect shallow water area to chill in your beach chairs or play Kan Jam. (We never did play volleyball. Lazy butts.)

This is the main house. It was a beaut! 

We stayed in the other house.  You know, probably where the help stays.  HA! Just kidding.  It was a super nice house too. It was set way back off the lake though so we had major yardage for bags later on.  You'll see. 

The water was so calm and smooth.  Beautiful weather, beautiful lake... We better take the boat out. 

 We all piled in the pontoon and took off.

 Mike did not forget the yellow noodles.  Andrew and Kevin loved their yellow noodles.

 The ladies sat in the front.  Here are Ashley and Diane....

 and Morgan and Kara.  Just chillin'.

Kevin thought I would enjoy having my picture taken.  I was apparently not amused. :-)

But I was amused when it came to group pictures.  CHEERS! You can see Kara pimpin' the Skyy in the back. 

 Hey look at that! Someone left us a message in the sand.  Hmm... a little cryptic.  Not sure what they're trying to tell us.

 When we came back after boating, it was time for bags.

 Lots and lots of bags.

Andrew quit on the bag-playing after while and decided to just jam out for awhile.

Later that night, we came in for dinner and played the Bowl game.  Lots of fun had by all. It probably has something to do with those Vegas shades. 

 The next day I didn't take my camera out on the boat when we went to the sandbar.  I was so mad because there were truckloads of moments that needed capturing but maybe it's for the best. ;-) This is from Kara's phone.  It was the only group photo we got all weekend.

 That night we came back and played Night Bags.  What a set up! Is that a LIGHT under the bags board??

 There was a tandem bike in the garage so naturally Grant and Andrew decided to take it for a ride.

 What do you need when riding a tandem bike at night? A Mexican Wrestling mask, duh.

Later that night, we played the bowl game again.  Kara's mom even joined us for a round but I didn't get a picture of her.  This is LATE into the evening.  Everyone is obviously stoked.

 Especially Andrew.

 The next day we drove home in the daytime which was nice.  Still WAYYYYYY too long to be in a car but it was cool to drive directly by Lake Huron.

We got home Sunday night to Tom Dog Millionaire.

 He had a fantastic time with Gaga and Pop.  They sent us several pictures when we were gone.  Gotta love technology.

This was by far my favorite.  He was falling asleep at lunch.  So cute.

Thanks to the Drainvilles for a marvelous weekend in Michigan.  We had SO much fun.  It was a great little end of summer getaway.  Good times were had by all!
