Family vacation

Hello again! We've been back from our family vacation for a while now...it's been a little hectic because I got sick upon our return and have been trying to recover from that and unpacking, laundry, cleaning, etc. We drove out to Michigan and spent about 2 weeks there visiting family and friends, and then we drove back to Colorado, making a 2-day stop in the Twin Cities to visit old friends. I have a TON of photos and fun times to document...this first post is the from the first day we were in Michigan. We had a Van Guilder "Cousin Clan" reunion up in Charlevoix that Saturday and had so much fun! My brother, Ben, was baptized at the church he and Laura are getting married in. Then all the guys went golfing while the ladies had a bridal shower for Laura. Then we ended the day with a grill-out and bonfire, complete with banjo and guitar music from my uncle Barry, or the "banjo picker." We even had two cakes to celebrate my uncle Danny's (my dad's twin brother) retirement and my uncle Barry's 60th birthday! Enjoy this slideshow of photos from that day!
