Gull Lake Beach

We really wanted to go out to Lake Michigan over spring break. It is about 70 minutes to our favorite beach and with the distance and wind we decided not to go. So, we decided to go to the local beach instead and play! Larisa and her friend Megan decided that it would be fun to stay at home and they didn't join us. Tiana and her friend Eden decided it sounded like a lot of fun, so we headed out! I love Tia's friend Eden! She is a happy, delightful, polite and sweet young lady! We think the world of her and her family. The main beach wasn't open so we went to the boat dock and played on their smaller beach. It was 80 degrees, but there was a cool breeze, that made it a little bit chilly when the sun disappeared behind the clouds.

Tiana has my love for the water and she was so so excited to just be on the lake.

Tiana and Eden would wait in anticipation of each cold splash from the waves.

I love this picture of Tiana running from the waves.

After awhile they became acclimated to the temperature of the water and they had a blast playing on the beach.

Trying to jump the waves!

Looking for treasures on the beach!

I love that Eden always has a smile!

The girls spent a lot of lot time looking for fresh water sponges. They look so weird! Believe me, I know what they really look like!

I LOVED laying on the beach watching them! I loved the sun on my face, the wind in my hair and listening to the waves!! It was a wonderful day!
