staycation at the beach

This weekend, we decided to have a stay-cation and visit the beach on Michigan lake. Despite Paul and I forgetting to pack our swimsuits, we had a good time. I decided to make this a late-afternoon/evening trip so that the babies would be happier longer and be less likely to get sunburned. We got to the lake later than planned, but Lily had a blast splashing in the shallow water and filling her bucket with sand. Jack ate more sand than I care to admit. 

We ended up at Kathy Osterman beach, known for its shallow depth and fewer crowds. I thought that it was perfect. I wish we lived closer! Right now, this beach is about an hour and a half away from us.

^"what IS THIS?!"

Jack thought that being buried in the sand with daddy was swell.
