Whitefish Dunes

Erin likes to have a family day out at Whitefish Sand Dunes State park on the Saturday nearest her birthday.  We didn't attend last year.  I'm sure it was because we were in the temple.
The weather at home was cool and rainy and there were thoughts of staying home by several.
It rained on our way to the beach but was only overcast when we got there. 
Everyone brought their own lunches.  Henry enjoyed his Subway!
The water was very COLD!  I walked in and got my ankles wet and that was enough for me.
The sand was warm and holes were dug and castles were built. 
There were also "Olympic" events captured on video. 
The sun actually showed it's face for a while and it got warm enough for me to go put on a swimsuit. 
The water in Lake Michigan is never warm but watching my family wade in slowly was testament to just how cold it really was. 
I didn't think we would need the beach umbrella but I'm so glad it was packed along. 
We stayed for a few hours and fun was had by everyone.  
Erin dug her "heart hole" so we could have our picture taken inside the heart. 
We should have been on the other side. 
Lydia got to be a mermaid in the sand with lots of feathers.  
Just to make the day complete, it rained on the way home.  It was a perfect day!
