South Haven, Michigan

We're having lots of fun at the Michigan cottage!

Headed to the beach.

Love the beautiful flowers here, so different than Florida flowers.

This is the view from the top of the lift looking down to the beach area. Glad the lift is working and we're not taking the stairs!

Getting into the elevator.

Holding on for dear life on the way down!

Looking up the track of the lift.

Lake Michigan Beach!

Sand mermaids

Cousins

Picnic lunch with the cousins.

Headed back to our cottage after lots of playing.

Cooking out on the back deck.

Valla made the most adorable little house.

Smore time!

Blueberry picking

My favorite flower

When we first started picking we tried to feed L some berries. She wouldn't eat them!

But then she realized they're BLUEBERRIES! Then we couldn't keep her out of everyone's buckets, even those of strangers!

They were so big and so good!

I made the girls try to eat them off the bushes with no hands.

Between us all, we picked 5 pounds and probably ate a few more while we picked! We could have picked for days, but how many blueberries do we really need?! Can't wait for the homemade blueberry cobbler tonight!

Any Fruit Cobbler
Dump lots of any kind of fruit in a casserole dish, pour mixture of 1 cup sugar and 1 cup self rising flour over fruit. Pour 1 c milk over. Cut up 1 stick butter and put on top. Bake at 350 until brown and crispy, about 1 hr.
