August 10 - Beach Bums

Since we had to move away from Garver Lake, I've been packing us off to Lake Michigan whenever the sun is shining this summer. We must have gotten lazy with the opportunity to swim in our own backyard for the last 6 years. I forgot how much I truly love the silky shoreline, dunes and aqua-green waves that I grew up around.

The atmosphere is magical. Most of the time we bring a humble picnic and a few sand toys, and the kids play for hours. Between wave jumping and gull chasing and castle construction everyone is content. What a blessing!
