In anticipation of our upcoming loss of freedom (by baby #4, we really knew what we were in for!), Ben and I decided we needed one last getaway. It turned out that the Seversons owed us some overnight babysitting, and they offered to take the boys for a few days. Sarah took Henry and Ellis to a fun summer camp with her boys, and Sam got to play with Andrew. We were free!
We used the opportunity to spend time with some of our dearest friends - the old F.O.G. presidency . . . a.k.a. our high school buddies, Jacob and Robbie (plus bonus addition: Lyndee Mower!). Boy, do we love these guys! We rented a really cool house in Michigan City, IN - near Sawyer, Michigan - on the other side of the lake. What did we do? Not much of anything. Which is our favorite thing to do.
We mostly talked and ate good food (I made Ina Garten's roasted vegetable and orzo salad with chicken, and it was beautiful).
We explored a little too.
We really enjoyed visiting the sand dunes - which I would define as sandy, barefoot, beach hiking. Unlike anything I had ever done before, and it was beautiful!
Check out those roots! We were trying to figure out how these trees stay in the ground!
We got some pictures with Robbie and Lyndee on Sunday before they left town.
We love these people!

Looks so fun! Overnight babysitting? Such a thing exists?
