Michigan City 2012

We just got back from our vacation to Michigan City, IN.  We went there 2 years ago and it was a blast, so we did it again.  Soooo much fun!  We rented 2 houses in the beautiful Beachwalk resort.  This area has the most adorable colorful houses on a lake/pond, with a pool, playground, putting green, and a short walk to Lake Michigan and the beach.  Lots of family made the trip.  With so many schedules to work with, some were only there for a part of the week, but there were 27 of us total (including babies)!  Our time basically consisted of trips to the pool, the beach and lake, the outlet mall, eating, relaxing and golfing (by some).

*Warning*  There are A LOT of photos coming up!
Just a few of the many homes in the resort

Nora and Katie had a visit to the beach...albiet brief!
Now for some pool and playtime pictures...

Nora loves to swing
Ethan and Paige on the giant, green slide
Just talking with Grandpa Bob.  I wish I would have gotten a picture of Ethan and Gpa Bob...Ethan would just talk and talk and talk to him.  It was pretty cute!
Just hanging out, waiting to eat again
Happy Nora...who is very close to crawling. 
Josiah and Ethan.  They have so much fun together. 
This was a common scene.  The road that separated our 2 houses  wasn't too busy, so the kids had fun playing in the street.  With supervision, of course.
Nora loved the pool.  
All ready to swim.  He was pretty excited about these new goggles.  
Nora and Katie had their own private, porch pool. 
Pop and Ethan
We had a great time and I look forward to doing it again next summer!

Happy Independence Day from (5 of 8) Blair Grandkids!

  1. Great pics Becky. It looks like it was another enormously fun year. I was so sad we couldn't make it, we were really looking forward to spending some time with everyone in Michigan City.
