South Haven

We were lucky enough to spend the last week in South Haven, Michigan. My parents rented a house for the week and the family got to enjoy some quality time together. It was so nice to get away and visit a new place. There was a lot to do and we all had a great time. We took plenty of pictures...below are just a few to sum up our trip!


We went to the Van Buren County Fair where Caleb LOVED seeing all of the animals. We think his favorites were the horses. Back in town, he went crazy over a horse named Harvey who did carriage rides in downtown South Haven. He talked about Harvey for several days!

Caleb loved swimming in the pool on the deck. Sometimes he loved it so much that he wouldn't even wait for us to put on a swim diaper! It ended up being a great way to wash off the sand after being at the beach!
Caleb was a lot of fun this year with blueberry picking. Although he went last year, he wasn't much help. This year he picked them, ate them, and smashed them in his hands. With his help, we picked a ton of blueberries. We'll being making plenty of pies, muffins, etc. all year!
Caleb was a little unsure of the beach at first, but by the end of the week he loved it. He enjoyed the water (even though I thought it was way too cold). He also really liked playing in the sand and helping Grandpa build a giant sand mountain.
We had a lot of fun on our trip and highly recommend it as a place to visit. It's great that the drive is only a couple of hours. It'll make our upcoming trip to Lake of the Ozarks seem incredibly long. Fortunately, the drive is totally worth it. We'll be sure to post plenty of pictures when we get back!
