Well we have entered our 4th state of residence (just living up to our title), adding Michigan to our list! We are in St. Joseph, which is a really small town directly across the Lake from Chicago. It is a really nice area, we are so- far enjoying it! We got in Saturday afternoon and joined our friends the Loves (whom we met while living in Chicago and now they live here) at Culvers for some much - needed frozen custard after unloading the car. Sunday was an adventure, getting REALLY LOST on the way to church and ending up in Benton Harbor, which is GHET-TO!!! But eventually we found our way back. Everyone we have met so far has been very nice, the people are really great! There is a group of moms/kids from church that get together on tuesdays at the beach and fridays at the park! That has been one of the hugest things I have missed from living in Illinois, so I am so glad to be back in a ward where people actually get together and do fun things! Monday the boys started swimming lessons, yay, and we went grocery shopping. Not a whole heck of a lot to report about Monday... but Tuesday was pretty fun! We went exploring downtown St. Joseph, which is such a cute little place! It is full of cool shops and cafes, unique stores and fun kid things! It is right on the beach, which is beautiful! We went to a cute little pottery store and the boys got to paint their own ceramics, then we walked around and looked at all the cool old buildings and homes. 
There is also an "art show" going on, which entails of little decorated cars all around the city, so of course we had to find them all and decide which is our favorite! We even found a Michigan one (imagine that) so I talked the boys into sitting in it, but that didn't mean they had to enjoy it!! 
So we had a blast, who knows what today will bring!? We plan on just having fun all summer long and exploring everything, seeing all there is to see! Tomorrow will be the "Curious Kids" museum, and then, who knows, maybe some strawberry picking, mini golf, bike rides on the boardwalk... the possibilities are endless......until we run out of stuff to do! Then we can just hop over to the other side of the lake for a quick trip to Chicago!

Wow! It sounds and looks like a lot of fun! Why did you guys decide to go to Michigan for the summer? Just curious! When do you have to go back for school? It sounds like a fun place!
Yeah for new adventures! I'm glad you're in such a great ward. I hope this summer is awesome for you and your fam.
