I love the lake. When we are at the lake I am able to just be. Present in the moment I enjoy the waves, the sand, the sun and the kids.
Friday my sister-in-law Bert came for the Day and brought John's Mom (Oma), niece Theresa and nephew Jeremiah. Below Bert is taking Jeremiah, (far left) Theresa (in orange) Ben and JJ into the lake.
Ben and Anna having buckets of fun.
Jeremiah heads out to get some water from the lake while Jay and Ben work on a sand project.
Anna has a new favorite place to sleep- in the middle of lake Michigan. She curled up as we bobbed in the waves and fell sound asleep. When I tried to bring her to shore she protested. We stayed out in the lake for sometime. Eventually I handed her off to Bert to rest my arms.
Ben....
Oma and Grandma stayed at our nice cool house and visited while we went our lakeside adventure. I wish I had pictures of them, but I got sand in my camera and it is ruined.
Public Service Reminder- remember to buy disposable cameras for the beach.

Cool! Remember all our trips to the lake as kids? Me neither.
I wonder if I will ever stop thinking of the Jefson's hamster when I hear the name "Oma."
No, no trips to Lake Michigan. I do remember swim lessons at the Pit, with watermellon Jolly Ranchers afterwards.
I definately don't remember Jefson's hamster- I only remember Black Mona the attack cat who mauled me repeately.
I love the lake too and it's good to see you inspiring that love of water in your kids. I remember my mom taking me and Sara down to the lake as kids and I guarded there one summer ( '85, I think). I trace my love of big bodies of water to my early trips to the city's lakefront.
I loved the pictures!!!
Jen,
You need to come with us before the end of the season! Please!
That's a wonderful photo of you and little Anna!
