As far back as I can remember my third cousins were always the first ones that we thought of when going somewhere.  Many ski trips, a back country moose hunt, a Disney trip, a three week roadtrip out west, many camping adventures were spent with the Prines.  So you can understand my excitement when I found out that my cousins Katelyn (KP) and Erika came up with their mom, my mom and sister.  Its has been so long since the 6 of us went on an adventure. Its' hard to balance every ones schedules and get together for more than a couple hours so a whole weekend was a treat.

 

Once they got up here on Saturday, that is after getting back on the right track after getting "lost" we went to look at lights for my aunts new room then walked around downtown followed by the mall then a late dinner that was a little too spicy for some. Then back to our separate hotels.  Mom and Aunt Carol each booked a room but in different hotels. So the moms got one and us girls got the other. After some homework time, KP, Erika and I cuddled up in bed and watched a movie while Katie went to bed. Soon KP was asleep and Erika and I were left laughing  till 2 in the morning. 

 

Then Today we got up early and started out early. Heading to Sleeping Bear Dunes to do some exploring. After playing on the dunes and taking tons of pictures we continued on stopping a couple more times. It was a good weekend that was long over due. Below are a couple pictures of the 4 of us girls.
