We stayed overnight at the cottage and fell asleep listening to the Lake Michigan waves lap against the shore.
Sunday was a perfectly beautiful day day and windy enough for Cam's kite to set sail. One of Cameron's bath seats has been officially turned into a beach chair so he can hang out right in the sand. The kite string was taut and Cam kept grabbing it and said "look, I am playing the guitar!"
Getting home on time was a must to celebrate a birthday. Cam's best buddy, Emma, was turning 13 and we were invited to share dinner and dessert!
Cam thought up his own idea for a present- he wanted to create a photo book of all of he and Emma's memories together. It may be hard to believe we have more than enough photos of these two in our archives! Henry David Thoreau's quote sums up the true meaning of having a best buddy, "The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend."
Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971.

As Sarah begins her college career at Michigan State in the fall, we will miss seeing her every week, but know that our lifelong family friendship will keep us all together.
Camology Quotes:
When we were packing up our things at the cottage, Cam said he wished we didn't have to leave. Chris responded by telling Cam we could just have him stay at Oma and Opa's one more night, to which his thoughtful response was...
"But, I have things to do and places to go!"
