Daytrip!

We really hadn't been on the road enough.  Fourteen days, phooey, what's one more?  The kids were beginning to miss being strapped into their car seats hoping for a snack or an ipod or a bathroom break.  Home less than a week and I decided we need to get back out there again. Destination: the beach. 

Mom, Finn, Wylie, and I had THE BEST DAY yesterday in Bridgman, MI.

Finn claims his favorite part of the day was a dip in the big bathtub at the end of the day, which helped me rid the two boys of at least some of the sand they'd accumulated. Funny, I didn't take any pictures of that event because I thought the highlight was a toss up between the BEACH and chatting with Mom and Amanda.




Really, the best part of the day was the glorious HOUR during which Finn entertained himself by taking little boat rides.  He would climb in this little boat, lay back with his feet up, drift down the shore a bit, get beached, climb out, drag the boat back to his starting point, and do it all over again.

Wylie would say he was torn between the basketball Amanda let him bring to the beach and the dogs who were so, so sweet to him.

Thanks to Amanda for welcoming us with open arms!  It was truly the perfect day.
