Life's A Beach!











If I had to describe the perfect beach day, today was that day...sunshine, blue skies, 78 degrees with no humidity, a refreshing north breeze sweeping across the lake, and a light surf. We even found a sand bar that extended from the water's edge making a perfect swimming haven for the kids.

Maya and Kai decided that they wanted to pack their own lunches and take them to the beach for a picnic. Maya proudly put a lunchable, sour patch kids, and a capri sun in her barbi lunch box as Kai packed a lunchable, pretzels, and capri sun into his borrowed princess bag.

Once at the beach, we ate our lunch, spashed in the waves, climbed and rolled down a huge sand dune (a first for Maya and Kai), made sand holes and sand castles, and handcrafted sand chairs for lounging at the water's edge.

One of the attached pictures shows a view of Lake Michigan with a silhouette of Chicago in the background. We could see Chicago's skiline so clearly across the lake today. Oh what a day!
