Let's Go To The Beach









We spent our last few weekends of the summer along Lake Michigan taking in some sun and playing in the sand.  Joseph and I went down to Evanston last weekend to visit Gina and meet up with my parents.  It was pretty hot, and the water was much warmer to the south in Illinois, so we enjoyed getting burried in the sand and swimming in the water.  Today Jay and I took everyone a bit to the north, to Harrington State Park where the beach is beautiful but the water was freezing!  We still got wet, but Joseph is the only one who went under.  We spent most of our time building sand castles and water tunnels.  The waves were pretty impressive, the aftermath of Hurricane Isaac apparently.  The kids all thought we were at the ocean, but they are slowing learning that it is really just a lake.  Well, not just any lake.  A great lake.  A great, HUGE, lake!
