Lake Michigan

My sister and I set a day to go to the beach at Lake Michigan before I even got to Grand Rapids. You see, she has a real job now, so she can't just go to the beach with me whenever I feel like it. Which was a bummer, because there were several warm sunny days during the week. But when it came to Saturday, the weather was not so nice. We decided we were going to head out there no matter what. So, we went. We actually picked a great day to go because the beach was close to empty! We had a lot of sand to ourselves. We went in the water a few times, and it was just cold enough to take my breath away when I went under. We went for a walk on the pier in Grand Haven and saw some 10 year old boys jumping off, so we decided to jump off with them. But they were jumping off into the channel side, where the water looks brown insead of blue like the other side. We just jumped with them into the nasty water, and it was suprisingly a lot warmer. Hmmmm. I'm trying not to think about it. I just made sure to take a shower and wash my bathing suit when I got home. :) It was a good day at the beach even though it wasn't hot and sunny. I hope you enjoy the beautiful pictures!
