Beach Trip

We've been fortunate to live so close to such a FUN beach! Since I bought a season parking pass this year, I wanted to be sure to get my money's worth. We've done rather well, making it to the beach nearly every week this summer that we've been home. It's awesome that we've been able to go with great friends, and we were even able to take Nana with us twice while she was here. These are pictures of our trip with her there during the first week she came out to Michiana...

Miranda didn't spend much time on the towel-
she was much more interested in the water and the sand.

Zachary worked hard to dig this moat. Occasionally the waves
would wash some water into the pond.
Miranda loved digging out and filling in the moat.

Megan didn't spend much time on the towel either-
water was her preferred medium.

There's nothing like digging your toes into hot sand.

Zoë was posing for a picture that we compiled
for Snapfish so we could "earn" a free photo book.

It was hard to get her laying down-
Zoë spent most of her time swimming in Lake Michigan.

At the beginning of the summer I couldn't get Miranda to go near the water.
This trip, since the water was actually warmer, she had so much fun splashing and playing in both sand and water.

This wasn't our only trip to Silver Beach with Nana... we also went with Travis the following week (more pictures to follow in another post).
