Sapp Family Vacation-Lake Michigan!

I have been "soooo" looking forward to our Sapp fam trip this June since I heard about it 8 months ago! And sadly, it has come and gone already, but it was fun and fab-u-lous! Yep yep. We (a clan of about 18 of us) flew into Chicago Thursday night, some of the crew got their rental cars and Uncle WayneO hauled the rest of us to our final destination... their lakehouse in Michigan! We were all heading to Michigan and Austin's luggage was heading to Dallas. Hey, if it had to happen to one of us, it should be the youngest, eh? and Sparkles Austin. Sparkles. Anyways, after a fun little 1 1/2ish ride we arrived at the lakehouse a little before midnight I think and chatted with the cousins like old times.


The next morning the boys woke up early early and went fishing (and I will say, were very successful)...while our manly men were fishing on the rough waters, us girls shopped:) Griff and I had some special bonding time reading "Cars 2"...and discussed how we are both very excited for the upcoming release date:) That night we gathered back up and the aunts, uncles, and Boss helped get dinner ready. We ate and celebrated Molly and J's engagement and had a good time welcoming J to the fam!

The next day the boys golfed, the girls lounged, and for dinner we went out to eat at the Stray Dog. We had our drinks and dinner ordered and were waiting for our meal for about 30 minutes when our waiter told us that the fire alarm in the kitchen went off and sprayed the kitchen with chemicals and such to prevent a growing fire. Hmmm....So, the kitchen closed. Suz, as always, was on her toes because she found a place to seat 26 hungry people on a Saturday night. We did however, hit up the Stray Dog "Gear" shop to purchase some shirts and glasses:)  Hey, memories are memories, whether we ate there or not! and how fun are they?!

The next day was Father's Day! We went to church early that morning and celebrated the day with our dads! Julie's parents have a beautiful cabin right by the Richards so we strolled down there and celebrated with a cookout! Yummm...Ali, the fun genius person that she is (bonus points for when I come to your new place Al?), ordered some little picture paraphernalia! And yes, looking through these pics I realize I have one face when it comes to putting on the mustache. Nice.

Meanwhile, Bruce hung out with his buddy Higgins! Thanks so much Tim and Kelly for taking him in! We appreciate sooooo so so much!

**I am soooo thankful for my family! God has blessed me so much for having so many loving people who care about spending time together. Whether staying up late (winning) playing games, to long rides smashed and smushed in cars, to backup plan champs, to crying together, to praying together, to the hilarious stories told after 1am, to new babies, and newer memories...aww...just love em.
