Beach Hopping

Last week we went to two different beaches along Lake Erie.
It was a lot of fun!
I took A., N. and A's life long friend M.
I sat under the cover of the beach umbrella all day wearing 50 SPF sunscreen. Guess who came home with the sun burn!!!! Me! The one NOT out in the direct sun. My skin is wimpy.

We spent most of the day at the public beach in MI.
The kids went swimming in the waves and built sand castles. A thunder storm rolled through while we were there. We took shelter and about 15 minutes later the sun came back out and we hit the beach again. The temperature even dropped a degree or two. We took a bag of Bing cherries to eat on the beach and spit the pits. The seagulls ran after the sweet pits!

This was at State Park. This is N. building a sand castle. We stayed about an hour and a half. They had lots of fun!
On the way home from beach hopping we stopped and picked up a very cheesy pizza and some ice cold Coke. It was a hit with the whole gang.
