We finally made it to the beach! I know, I know, what took me so long?! We have been here 2 1/2 weeks and just finally made it there. Well we would have gone much, much sooner, but it's always too cold here! The weather is always in the 70's - freezing for beach water! Especially since Lake Michigan is only like 50 degrees! Well yesterday it finally got up to 90, so we were off! The beach is AWESOME! I may have mentioned once or twice that this beach is rated #1 in the country for kids by parent magazine, and here's why: there are lifeguards, there are parks and playsets, and the water is only about 2-3 feet deep for about 100 yards, so the kids think they are going out to the "deep" part and it makes them feel really cool! The boys had so much fun looking for seashells and splashing around! Araleigh loved the water, it is always hard to keep her out! The real challenge was keeping her from trying to drink the water off her little fingers!! Ewww! Next time I'll be sure that she is fully hydrated before we go!!!
If you look closely, Traeden is the little guy with his arms out. Jax wouldn't go out quite that far yet, it took us a while to convince him that it really wasn't deep. Of course, by the time he was brave enough to venture out, we had to leave because a thunder storm was approaching. They were so disappointed! They didn't even get to build a sandcastle! I promised them that we will be going back often, they will have plenty of chances to build lots of sandcastles!

What an AWESOME beach! I think I remember reading about it in Parents Magazine. :) You guys sound like you're having tons of fun!
That does look way fun! There are a ton of things to do where you are at! What a fun place to spend your summer!
I love the picture of the kids sitting in the sand. Araleigh is getting soooo fat!
