No Beach Bum...


We finally made it up to Lake Michigan this weekend. The name is deceiving....that looked like no lake to me....more like an ocean. It really had the feel of being on the coast minus all the salt in the air...it was nice. I found it ironic that Andrew's first visit to the "beach" was on a "lake". We had a blast. Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to get in the water...the temperature didn't get warmer that 69 degrees....crazy for August huh? (Thus the need for the long sleeves and bottoms.)
As you can tell Andrew wasn't that impressed with the crashing water. He was fine when in his backpack (securely with dad), but when it was just him it "hit the fan". He cracks me up...I can't help but laugh atleast a little when he cries...so cute!!! Don't worry to all you "Moms" out there....its hard to tell but Andrew is a good distance from the water...there's no chance that he could have gotten lost at sea!!!
On the way home wen drove threw some "Amish" towns....I have a lot of respect of the Amish....there is something so intriguing about those who refuse to lose their identity to today's society.
Hope is all well with everyone!!!
