The Big Lake

We finally made it to Lake Michigan this week. We went to Tunnel Park in Holland.

We had a picnic before we headed to the beach for a swim. Wade was a little confused about what to do with the paper plate.

This is a pretty good picture,

except for the trash can right behind David’s head. I’m starting to figure out how to use my camera. Now if I’d just remember to look at what’s in the back ground…

Sometimes the problem with my pictures isn’t my photography skills,

it’s the subjects.

This was Wade’s first time in Lake Michigan. He was too little last summer.

The lake is incredibly warm this summer. It was like bath water. Usually the Big Lake is cold no matter what time of year it is. If you’ve never been to Lake Michigan, this is the year to go.

Wade liked playing in the sand too.

David was all about the swimming. Look, it’s just like the opening credits of Bay Watch, only with out Pamela Anderson, and with a ring floatie.

David had fun running down the sand dune.

It was late when we left, getting close to sunset.

I could look at this view forever. Kinda makes all those snowy winters worth it.
