The “Happy Birthday” Club
We ended Summer with a camping trip to Lake Michigan with our good friends the Richardsons.  It was so beautiful….as you can see,  (none of these pictures have been edited/enhanced in any way), the weather was impeccable, and we had a great time.  Here are a bunch  (as in a plethora, extreme amount, great quantity)of random photos, in no particular order….
Love this picture of Gracie’s anticipation..
