The Big Lake

Yesterday we visited some of Cory's relatives (including his parents and sister and family) who were camping out at Pioneer Park in Muskegon which is on Lake Michigan. We spent the afternoon relaxing at the campsites and on the beach and even though the water was pretty cold the kids were able to splash around in it and play on the shore which they loved! Joshua spent his time playing in the sand and jumping in the dam that Grandpa was building. While we were on the beach a little plane that was flying very low flew right by us - it was cool to see, but at the same time a bit scary that they were flying so low and close to the shore by so many people. Oh, the funny for the day was when Joshua told Cory he had to go to the bathroom while playing on the beach so Cory told him to just go in the lake so the kid takes this quite literally and drops his swimsuit to his ankles while standing on the shore and pees in the lake. Everyone around us was laughing while I sat there holding Matthew horrified! Ironic this is the one time our child decides to listen and follow directions! We were all laughing hysterically while Joshua kept saying, "well daddy told me to go in the lake". We had another great day of day camping and were glad we got to enjoy the big lake at least a little bit!
