Michigan

Ryan and I took a trip with our good friends, Eric and Jessica, to Boyne Falls, Michigan in June. (I know, a little late, but I've had computer problems lately.)

Anyway, on the way up there, we stopped in Indianapolis to eat at Fogo de Chao for lunch. The food was really good, but I think the best part of our experience there was when one of the waiters kept pressing me for what I wanted for my free birthday dessert. I kept telling him I'd like to think about it a minute. I don't know if he didn't hear me or couldn't understand, but he kept saying, "Cheesecake?...Chocolate cake?...Creme brulee?" Ryan, Eric and Jessica all started laughing, and it took everything I had to hold it together.

We then continued our trek up to northern Michigan. We were excited to see the place we were staying. The pictures of the place online looked great, but you never really know what you're going to get.

We were there for a week, which was absolutely wonderful. Praise the Lord for vacations!

Our days were filled with golf, tennis, hiking, biking, kayaking, paddleboating and swimming. The nights were filled with games--Rook, Settlers, Catch Phrase and Guesstures.

Some highlights from the trip:

•Lunch at Fogo de Chao in Indianapolis.
•The boys decided to each stuff a VERY large pancake into their mouths just to see if it would fit.
•Ryan chipped a golf ball at Eric and hit him in the ankle from about 30 yards away.
•Riding the ski lift up the mountain with our bikes.
•I busted on my bike while we were riding down a mountain. (I think my bike and I both did a front flip, which was pretty scary. Praise the Lord for bike helmets!)
•Eric fell backwards in his chair while we were playing Guesstures.
•Rocking out to Lionel Richie, Journey and some other great ones on the way home, all courtesy of Eric's iPod.
•Handstand contests in the pool--point those toes! :)

Of course there are too many wonderful memories to recount here, but thank you, Eric and Jessica, for a great time in Michigan!
