Caseville 2009 - Cheeseburgers in Paradise

a
We took part of our vacation in Caseville, MI. Jason's grandparents live up there and we enjoy going in the summer time. Caseville is a small town in the tip of the thumb in Michigan. Every summer they do a Cheeseburger in Paradise festival. We had our fill of cheeseburgers and had a chance to participate in the annual parade. We also took some time and relaxed on the beach.

Logan enjoyed having Great-Grandma read to him. He loved spending time with Grandma and talking to her. He was very cautious of the "boo-boo" on her knee.

Logan had a chance to ride the giant slide. This is pretty amazing because Jason also rode the giant slide when he was young. Even better, Nancy also rode the giant slide with her grandparents when she was a little girl. What a fun tradition to pass on!

The put-put course is also something Jason and his family have done multiple times. Another fun thing to do on vacation.

We went for a walk out on the very long pier. Logan looks as though he is entering another zone.

Logan really enjoyed the beach this year. We stayed at a friends cottage that was right on the beach.

We finally had the opportunity to use our kayaks. I love experiencing the water like this. Logan liked being out in the boat with mommy.

This was our experience in the annual parade. I was ketchup and Emily was Mustard.

Logan loved watching everyone and waving. His shirt says, "Relish today, Ketchup tomorrow! Cheeseburgers in Paradise, Caseville" Perfect!

This was our float.

This was our crazy group.

The population of this small town is under 900, but as you can see this parade and festival is a really big deal. Thousands of people pack the streets to get candy and cheer.
