Day at the beach!

We decided to head to Grand Haven this weekend to show the kids Lake Michigan in the winter. It was so cold and would you believe I left Tanner's coat at home!!! I put the kids in their snowpants for the ride down, but just threw their coats in the van. Evidently, I thought I had grabbed Tanner's, but you needn't worry. Tanner was warm as can be, wearing my coat. I modeled a very trendy "Incredible Hunk" throw over my shoulders! It is hard to believe we will be camping there in 5 months, riding bikes and swimming in the lake. We finally got a site for over the 4th of July across from the lake. We are so excited! We plan on having a retirement party for my dad (and possibly mom) while we are there and Brinlee's 3rd B-day party. Anyway, Brenton has to do a project for the Art and Science Fair next month. He picked "photography" for the catagory he is entering. We thought this would be a neat place to try to get a picture. He did take a couple, but said he is planning on taking a picture when we go to Disney on Ice and using that. I prefer the lake picture, but I guess the picture of Disney on Ice is better than the picture he wanted to use of his gatorade. Crazy kid!

After church on Sunday, we went to lunch at my all time favorite place, Moe's, and then got some ice cream. We went to a new place that I had buy one get coupons for; Marble Slab Creamery. It was just like Cold Stone. It was yummy, but of course, the grown ups were the only ones to finish their cones!

One of the shots Brenton took of the frozen waves and pier.
