We are loving our Midwest treasures right now–soft grass, lightning bugs, hostas, cornfields, cousins and so many little things to enjoy. A light-on-words post today–just some of our favorite images from this past weekend in East Lansing:

My nephew Max has really big feet, thick fur, a long tongue and loves kids. Nella and Dash’s hesitation of such largeness lasted all of five minutes before they were stealing his ball.

    Times have changed. What once was you pushing Carin’s babies on swings is now Carin pushing yours. Beautiful memories.

    On your way home you should try to make it to the Frederick Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids. The new Japanese garden is heavenly!

    If you haven’t been there yet you have to check out Meijers gardens. The kids will love it.

    Lots of memories being made. Adorable photos ~ Lainey looks so TALL!!

    Love the Cousin Club ~ and especially the sign No phones… or you’ll be kicked out. That sign needs to be put up in a lot of businesses. 😉

    How cute your kids all are! Now that I have a little one around, I enjoy summer so much more than I used to. That area looks beautiful. I, unfortunately, live in the Southern California desert and it’s soooo hot. We need more trees!

    So glad you got to hang out in East Lansing! Isn’t Carin’s neighborhood awesome? I love how all the houses are different and how it’s so close to campus and the downtown area. Excited to see you all in a little bit! xoxo
