Yesterday we spent the day at Indiana Dunes State Park. We decided that the name of Lake Michigan should actually be The Michigan Sea. IT'S GINORMOUS!
We were on the southeastern side of the beach and could see the Chicago skyline faintly in the distance.
After they got used to the clear, cold water, the kids splashed and played all day.
Caleb mostly ate sand and watermelon
The water Lily Anne is standing in, is from a creek that flows down from the oak forest above the beach. The oak trees drop acorns, branches and leaves which have tannins in them which make the water the orangy color you see in this pic. The lake water was very blue and clean.
Sarah got cold, so we buried her in the sand with a monkey floatie for a pillow... if only we had some peeled grapes to feed her!

Abbie being too cool for this floatie! |

We left for home sleepy, sandy, sunburned, and happy.
Love, love, love the beach.
p.s. there are ALOT of rules at this beach. For the amount of time and man power spent enforcing these rules they could have had enough life guards to open the other parts of the beach and let people use whatever floaties they want. I kept feeling like, You have got to be kidding me! This is a BEACH, PEOPLE! Lighten up!
