Borchelt Family Vacation

This past week we went on our annual Borchelt family vacation. This year we ventured to South Haven, MI. We had beautiful weather all week and we didn't have to drive 12 hours to get there.

South Haven is a port city along Lake Michigan. Here the family takes a break from walking along the shoreline to smile for the camera.


And did we walk. Matthew said all the exercise reminded him of when they went bike riding in the mountains of Colorado. But that's another story for another time.



When we weren't walking. We hung out at the pool and relaxed on the beach. Ian got to spend lots of time in the water. Being a part of the Borchelt family, he's quickly getting use to it.


One of our favorite things to do on the beach was to watch the sun set.


Eating out is always a good thing to do on vacation. On this occasion, Grandma Borchelt has fun giving Ian water. He made funny faces but went back for more.


We could not leave this little piece of paradise without taking a sailboat ride. At first, Matthew was hesitant about the whole thing.

Later Matthew managed to smile for the camera. Notice he is the only one wearing a life preserver. Sure, he would save himself before he would even put one on his four month old son! Actually, Ian has proven to be a better swimmer than Matthew so no worries.


Most of all, it was great spending time with family. After all, when else do we get to see them if not for vacation?
