Children's Museum and the Beach!

Thursday was yet another busy day for us in Michigan!  The day began with a trip to the Children's Museum, and ended with a trip out to Holland to go to Lake Michigan.  Since it was a very hot, humid day, an air-conditioned museum and the beach were great places to be!

Both Faith and Shane enjoyed the new Veterinary Clinic where they were able to simulate giving animals a bath, check their vitals signs, and also look at some x-rays.

Here Shane is working the front desk of the clinic!  Faith answered the phone there, "Hello, this is doctor Faith."  Naturally, they now both wants to be vets!

This girl loves the stage and instruments!

Later in the afternoon we drove out to Holland St. Park to cool off in Lake Michigan!  While the water was a little chilly, it didn't stop the kids from going in the lake!  

Faith had a great time.  Not only did she play in the water, but she also played in the sand building a sand castle complete with a moat!

Chasing Daddy is always lots of fun!

On our way back to Grand Rapids, we stopped by Fricanos for pizza.  Fricanos is a well-known West Michigan pizza place specializing in thin crust pizza.  We had to wait a bit for a table as it was busy, but the kids did well.

Yummmm!  We all loved the pizza, and the two kids actually ate an entire cheese pizza themselves!
