Beach Babies

It wasn't the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic, but the kids got to experience a real beach and enter a gigantic body of water that produces white caps and rip tides just like the ocean. So Lake Michigan will do just fine. The kids could have played in the sand all day, despite having only a couple of plastic cups and some spoons we brought from the inn with which to play.

The family photo was taken by Quyen the second time we went to the beach during our last weekend in town. Thanks for sending the picture! We got to meet up with Quyen and Joe and their two adorable little boys, Dylan, who is about Anna's age, and Matty, who is less than a year old. I left my camera in the car and regret that I didn't get photos of the kids together.
