Swinging

One of our favorite Michigan activities is swinging on the front porch.   It overlooks the lake and is a very peaceful spot.  I've noticed, too, that while Cole is super energetic and therefore swings for only a minute at a time, Max is definitely a more relaxed swinger!  We have a porch swing at home, too, and whenever he is fussy the swing calms him down every time!  This morning Max and I read some books on the swing while Cole and Grandbob went to The Crooked Lake Grill for pancakes.  It's a small local joint where you sit up on the swivel stools at the counter.  Cole had a Mickey Mouse pancake.  Lucky!
