At the beginning of Aug we headed up to Michigan for a family reunion on Matt's side. We went a few days early to spend some extra time with Matt's parents. It was a lot of fun. We went to a beach on Lake Michigan the first day. The waves were pretty rough and that beach wasn't allowing swimming but there was a very cool fountain and playground. It was pretty chilly in the wind so we didn't stay out there very long.
There was also a carousel. The area used to be a large amusement park but it closed down years ago. The carousel is the only nod to the past. The kids really enjoyed riding it. Even Gram got in on it - on her favorite Spartan horse :)
The next day we headed out to a less public beach. The weather was beautiful and the kids loved playing in the waves. Their lifejackets are a blessing and a curse. It gives me peace of mind but it gives them a little too much confidence. We had to call them back for swimming out too far a number of times.
