Up North, Etc.

Charlie's Great Aunt Jean and Uncle Fred recently brought Charlie over this little swing. I found him lounging on it (looking not unlike his Daddyon the couch), but he revived himself for this pic.

UP NORTH (TRAVERSE CITY)

After his first ride, in which he was a bit unsure, Charlie loved to take sloooooow rides with his Dad on the Sea Doo. (Or, as Charlie says, "Ski Dude").

Chris caught a 23 inch pike while fishing one morning. Charlie was fastinated by the fish..until his Dad dropped in on the boat deck and it started thrashing around:)

Happy Anniversary!

I love this picture of Charlie. I think he looks like a little thoughtful writer, or adventurer. We made a trip to the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes while we were staying in Traverse City.

Charlie and I in the forest (where there are "no bears here".)

We figured out that Charlie loved to ride the tractor, as long as he was wearing mufflers (or whatever they're called....)

Chris and his mom at the camp fire.

During the examination....

After! (They both look happy about it...)

Anyways, we were happy that Allison and Brian could join us for a few days!

Charlie loves to wear his life vest.
