Saugatuck

 We have had a crazy past few weeks because we closed on our new cabin in Saugatuck!  We rented a similar cabin with the Hoelting clan last year over the fourth of July and had such a great time that we ended up going in with them on one for our two families.  It's so cute, is in a darling lake town and is  a great rental property, so we are hoping it will be both a good investment and vacation spot for our families. Over Mother's Day we spent the weekend up there with just Mark and Christie - no kids, fully furnishing and decorating the place.  A huge thanks to Grandma Susan and Papa Gene who stayed in Wheaton with our boys.  Then this last weekend we went up with the families.  The kids could not have had more fun, and although we spent a lot of time finishing up on various projects, we still managed to do some playing too.  The more we go, the more we love about both the cabin and the area and we are all so excited!  Here's a hodgepodge of pics from our various trips:)
