we rented a cabin at holland state park. we enjoyed views of the beach and the channel into mac bay, and we spent some quality family time together.
we played ladder ball, rode bikes, swam, hung out at the beach, grilled, and played family games.
i had so much fun visiting with my fam! we even celebrated joey's birthday. i baked him a chocolate meringue cake with homemade whipped frosting and berries. mmm
on saturday night, after we grilled and joey opened presents, our family made a bonfire and roasted the largest marshmallows i've ever seen! natalie brought them, and they were tasty! we could see thousands of stars, and dad had his star laser pointer with him, so he kept pointing out stars and constellations to us. it was fun! we then saw the largest ship i've ever seen leaving lake macatawa for the waters of lake michigan. this same ship entered mac bay the following morning, sitting lower in the water this time, so it must have been carrying something into the lake.
mom, dad, and i sat and watched the boats come in for a while.
these cabins are a perfect place for a family to stay! there are two bedrooms. one room has two bunk beds, and the other has one bunk bed, but the bottom bunk is a full-size bed. there is even a small kitchen area complete with a mini-fridge, microwave, toaster oven, and coffee pot. the cabins are handicap accessible--even the grill, firepit, and picnic table were accessible! so my dad was able to join in all of the fun!
speaking of handicap accessible, and i think i may have mentioned this before, holland state park has a handicap parking space at the end of their boardwalk on the beach! perfect for my dad so that he could join us near the water.
overall, i had a wonderful weekend, and i can't wait to see my family again soon!
