Sharon Mills

Next month, on July 8th, Kyle and I will celebrate our 6th year anniversary!! In some ways it seems like we have been married much longer than that - it's hard to remember a time without him right by my side. Then, in other ways, it seems like just yesterday we said "I do". I remember that day so vividly, and it really was one of my most favorite days EVER. It was a beautiful sunny day - perfect for our outdoor wedding at Sharon Mills park in Manchester. Every summer since we've gotten married, we drive out to relive the memories of when we became husband and wife. We reminisce about how magical that day was, enjoy the pure beauty of our surroundings, and imagine what our future will look like. This past Sunday, after celebrating my parent's 40th anniversary, we decided it was a great day to go back to Sharon Mills for an evening picnic. Brett was in his glory, surrounded by all the wonderful things nature has to offer, and we all had so much fun together!

My sweet little boy LOVED the water! 

 One of our favorite parts was finding all the clams in the water...

 and splashing!!

"Look mommy! I found a really big one!!"

We had so much fun walking through the cool water! 

And found many treasures to take home!

Of course, Kyle and I had to get in a few shots of just the two of us :-)

He is the love of my life :-)

And together, we brought this sweet boy into our lives! He is our sunshine :-)

And here is a picture of Brett and one of the many flowers he picked for me. He sure knows how to melt his mama's heart :-)

I love this picture!

The architecture is amazing! Sharon Mills was once owned by Henry Ford, and eventually became a winery before being bought by the Washtenaw County parks and Recreation in 1999. I wish I took more pictures -- the whole place is just breathtaking!!
