pretty lake farm pictures

last weekend we spent saturday up at the cottage my parents rent between muskegon and ludington.  i'm sure you'll see more pictures of this soon, but in the meantime, here are the iphone shots we got when we spent sunday at the summer camp where steve's mom works.

we went kayaking in the early afternoon, which we didn't photograph due to wetness and such, but after our tour of the lake we headed out to the farm located on the camp property and met some goats, donkeys, and chickens.  steve came away with a farm fresh egg and we nibbled on a few of the strawberries that hadn't been picked by the campers.

afterwards we had dinner at an authentic mexican restaurant so steve and i could compare how it stacks up to the houston tex-mex.  regardless, we're definitely going to try and imitate the recipe for their homemade lime water!  so good!

sarah's wedding: photo theft edition

sibling photobomb!

the great thing about facebook is i can still have a blog even when i don't take all the pictures!  thanks to my mom, my brother's partner david, and college friend teresa for documenting all the fun!

i'll probably continue with wedding photo overkill once my sister's friend and photographer, oliver, gets her some digital images.  such a good day to remember, it's definitely worth the excess of pictures!

no-quite-so loose from the zoo!

it's already wednesday?? woohoo!  happy short week!

thanks for bearing with me on the whole self-promotional sponsorship post yesterday!  we had a super family filled weekend with paul's graduation party on sunday.  our memorial day was cold rainy and a little lonely though so we stayed in and binge-watched the new 4th season of arrested development on netflix.  perhaps i'll eventually get around to writing a review for it, but the short short verdict is: a bit disappointing at times, but overall tons of fun.

but we did manage to do something other than watch tv this weekend and that something was take a trip to the zoo! 

ok and y'know help with paul's party, furniture hunt in my parents' basement, and see my grandma's new apartment...

but pictures of animals are so much more fun. 

here's a phone dump

and some instagram just for extra fun
