Last week we returned from our yearly trip to Michigan—a time we thoroughly enjoyed with family and friends. Rather than drive the 20 hours up Mesick, MI, this year we were able to fly in to Traverse City. Yeah, we liked that a whole lot better. Micah traveled well on the plane, minus the times when the captain or flight attendants would come blaring across the pa system. He wasn’t so much a fan of that.
Micah enjoyed meeting his cousin Ethan and uncle Jeremy and seeing grandma and grandpa Ahtila again. Some of Kristen’s extended family were able to visit the Ahtila’s and got to meet Micah for the first time, too.
We enjoyed spending a few relaxing days with the family. We especially loved our trip to Lake Michigan and to Moomers to experience America’s best small town ice cream. (We both had a couple of scoops of Cookie Monster ice cream—smooth chocolate ice cream with chocolate chip cookie dough and Oreo cookie pieces. SOOOO good!)
On June 23rd we headed down to Grand Traverse Bay to celebrate our second anniversary (see previous blog post).
Then we drove up to the UP. Tim’s sisters Rachel and Sarah got to meet Micah, and we got to meet our nephew Reagan.
We made a slide show of our Israel trip that we got to show in the Sunday evening service. Though we only had a few days, we had a great time hanging out with family and friends, playing games (like Apples and Apples and Rook), and seeing everyone again. Kristen even got a chance to bake some Cardamom sweet bread over at Rachel’s place one afternoon (while Tim played X-box :) ). We had such a great time.

Looks like a very fun vacation! Glad Micah did well on the plane! The Tigers outfit is very cute on Micah! Also, the ice creams sounds so good! Glad you were able to have a little anniversary date. Thanks for the post!
