2 Lakes Twice Visited

A week ago Sunday we went for an afternoon drive with some sandwich fixins' for dinner in an ice chest, and swimming suits just in case we found some water to swim in. :-)  By the time we finished driving and finding a good waterfront area, parking and walking to the beach front, it was already dinner time so we had to skip swimming.

We told 'em they could wade, but we're not swimming...

...and then here's Joy wet to her waistline. ;-)

What kid doesn't like sand? (Yes, he's dumping it on the blanket).

A big stick and a sandpit - what could be cooler for little boys?

Well, yesterday we hit the road sooner in the day and went back to the same spot and got to stay for 4 hours - we ate, swam and played hard!!  The kids had an absolute blast.  It's a fascinating little area - the choice of swimming in Lake Michigan or Duck Lake or the shared inlet from where the lakes meet (which is a warmer, shallow pool-like area).

The sand was HOT, wanted to protect our sandals from the hot sun.

They had fun, fun, fun.

Building a channel from Lake Michigan to a smaller inlet.

Enjoying the smaller inlet - no waves to startle him :-)
