I believe I did Spencer, then Ivan! Now on to one of my favorite moments of the entire summer with my oldest and most gorgeous preteen (at the time) Olyvia Satja McKenna! It was actually difficult to come up with just one.... I had to pick so I picked the day we went to Ludington Beach while camping in Lakeview Mi with the Neely's and the Stowe's! Lake Michigan had unusually HUGE waves and was also extremely warm for the big lake. We were told it was because we had SW winds all summer. The lake is more shallow near Indiana so the water warms quicker and comes on up to us that way? We had a blow up raft and would float out to the sand bars. The waves were so BIG they would crash above us and land in the boat or float us inland... We did this for hours... laughing till we cramped. It was so much fun! Jaden also loved it but more so on foot than in the boat I think. Jona scared easily, especially if I let go of the boat.... But Olyvia and I road the waves for hours!!!!! Don't have any fun pictures of the "event" no water proof camera:( The pictures from the beach are just as beautiful. Later that day we went to Ludington Pier and climbed an awesome Lighthouse together for the first time EVER. Also road a bus out to Sable Point light house and both Olyvia and I bought sweatshirts to remember the occasion! So many fun memories from this short but AMAZING camping trip. Can't wait till Summer 11' it will be hard to top this summer for sure!!!!
