The Beach

While we were at my parents we took Sage to the beach.  This was her first time playing at the beach.  At first she wasn't to sure.  The sand was not her favorite, but she did get used to it and loved playing in the sand.  She was a bit scared of the water.  She let me dip her toes in and she didn't like it because it was cold.  She eventually got a little closer to the water and we even went for a few walks along the waters edge.

 Having somefun in he sand, we built lots of sandcastles that day.

 No way was she going in the water - way to cold!

Still not so sure about the water!

New Friends

Here is a picture of Haleigh, Sage, and Grace at dinner on Wednesday night.  These two girls have passed down a ton of clothes to Sage and it was fun to see them together.  They were all so good at dinner and had lots of fun!

A Boat Ride

We went to the Island while we were at my parents.  Sage's favorite part was the boat ride.  We sat upstairs on both trips.  We even got to go out under the Mackinac Bridge on the way to the Island.  It was a beautiful sunny day and it was in the low 70's.  We went to the Butterfly House, walked around the Island and got some ice cream.  When we got on the boat Sage saw the pilothouse and immediately said she wanted to drive!   She got to on the way back.  She even got to sit in the Captain's chair and help steer!

 What a view!

Thanks to Captain Mark, Sage got to help steer the boat!

Bench

My parents have this bench on their front porch.  It is the perfect size for the kids.  Sage has been loving it all week.  She took a rest on it before we went on a walk yesterday morning.

Feeding the Chickens!

We went over to the Gourd Barn yesterday.  My Mom's friend Clarlyn runs it, she has gourd classes, and raises chickens and pheasants.  Sage loved it - so did I!  She collected an egg from the chickens, fed the chickens and she got to pet the baby pheasants - they were only 10 days old.

Special Visit

Here is a picture from our visit with my Grandpa this week.  Sage had so much fun running around and checking the house out.  Her favorite thing was Grandpa's binoculars.  She told me she saw giraffes, elephants and monkeys through them!

A morning with Papa!

Yesterday morning my Mom had a meeting so Sage, Papa and I were on our own.  We went for a walk around the neighborhood and then went into town.  We went to a park so Sage could run around.  It is right on the water and it was a beautiful sunny day.  What a great spot we have here to vacation!  Sage had fun on the playground - she wasn't to sure about the slides, but she finally found one that she would go down.  Her favorite part of the morning was throwing rocks into the water with Papa.  Then we went out on the dock to throw rocks and she was in heaven.  She liked to see the big splash from throwing the rocks into the water!  We then walked over to the marina and she was so excited to see all the boats. 

Bean Bag Game/Cornhole

Who knew how much fun it could be to throw a bean bag around?  Well, Sage had a blast throwing the bean bags.  At first she was right on top of the board dropping the bag in, then Nana got her to step back and actually throw the bag into the hole.  Here is our Bean Bag Pro!

Golfing

We spent the morning and early afternoon visiting with my Grandpa.  We also picked up Sage's dress for my cousins wedding in August.  Sage is going to be the flower girl and she looks so cute in her dress!  When we got back it was time for some fun outside!  Turns out golfing in Nana and Papa's yard is lots of fun.
