A Full Day of Fun on Thursday!

On Thursday, we headed out to the beach about lunchtime. We decided to go to the beach down the way, since the beach we had gone to the day before was sooo busy and sooo far away!! This beach was Lions Park Beach and you could park literally right by the beach, so we didn't have to walk a million miles or anything. And, it was really private and just a handful of people were there. It was paradise!!!







Here's Madie carrying her floatie board.






Here we are enjoying our wonderful swim at Lake Michigan. The water was cold, but it was so hot outside, it was just perfect!





Livie spent a good hour just playing with the buckets, water, and sand. She absolutely loved it! She's wearing that handkerchief, so her parts in her hair wouldn't burn.





Here's Madie having a great time in the water. :-)





And, Noah with his bright yellow noodle!




We took a break about halfway through our day for a little snack/lunch.





Jack and Livie shared an apple together. It was so cute! The future happy couple already learning to share (yes, we've already brokered a betrothal deal between the families). ;-)






After our beach adventure, we all went back and got dressed to go out for dinner. We headed back to the Silver Lake beach we visited the night before and went to a great pizza place there. I took this picture to give you an idea of what it's like carting all those kids around!! They all liked Pete. We ate outside at the picnic tables. Pete and I were soooo burnt, that we had to find some in the shade, so we wouldn't be burnt even more.




Here's sweet Charlie playing with Noah's shoes. He kept trying to grab his shoelaces and pull them off his feet.




Here are the terrific trio! Tessa, Madie, and Emma. They had such a ball all week!





My silly Noah.




Livie and her daddy.




After supper, we headed down the street to the ice cream shop. Yum!! My only regret all week was that we only visited this place once.





Noah, Jack, and Livie had to do a group hug before we loaded up into our separate cars to head back to the hotel. Aren't they such cuties?!!!
