The Cottage and Mani

First of all, we have another nephew!! Keri's sister went into labor 3 weeks early and our nephew Arie was born in Cambridge on June 1st! It is killing us not to be there to see him, but we are very excited for our siblings and pumped to meet their new kiddo in August.

For Memorial Day weekend, Keri got 4 days off of work and we headed up to the cottage. The weather was absolutely gorgeous for that time of year up there. We had fun playing games inside and on the beach and dipping in the cold water twice. One of the really fun parts for us was taking Mani to see how he'd do with a little beach and freedom. He had never seen sand before and freaked out at first when his paw touched, but then became quite the digger! He also wouldn't go in the water for the first 2 days, but something clicked on the last day and we couldn't keep him out of it! He also slept in our tent with us (just curled up at the foot of our sleeping bags and didn't bother us till morning!) and did really well off the leash on the beach. Do we need a kid or what? All of our pictures are of him from that trip! Here are a few shots and a before and after video with Lake Michigan.
