father's day weekend in the midwest

we got the BEST invitation from my brunch club friend, colleen. she invited us to stay with her, her husband, and baby boy in michigan city, indiana over father's day weekend. umm, yes, of course we'll come bbq with you in a vacation home next to lake michigan, are you kidding??!

but we had no idea that we would be staying in SUCH an adorable home, in such a darling little vacation community!!

before heading out, we picked up some pies from hoosier mama pie co (saaaay it!!) for the bbq. the shop is teeny tiny, cute and vintage-y (tip for locals and visitors: on friday nights they stay open late and offer pie flights!) and is just about two miles from our house. i ran over in the morning knowing it opened at 9am. my plan was to run on over there and just walk home with the pies. surprise #1 was the long line that greeted me 10 minutes before the store even opened. surprise #2 was that the two pies i bought were way too big and cumbersome to carry home in the 85 degree morning heat. surprise #3 was the number of people on the buses at 9am on a saturday morning.

beachy! beachy!
more photos to come in the next post!
