We took one day during Spring Break and did something spontaneous. It was a blast! We decided to drive north along the shore of Lake Michigan and see what we could find and thanks to a phone call to our friend Sue Mack we saw so many fun things.
I spy with my little eye...a lighthouse, a slide, 282 stairs, a steamship, the world largest picnic table, Dutch wooden shoes, a windmill, flying children, Marcus' 1st out to eat experience, letters in the sand, flying shells - rocks - sand & sticks, a muskrat, fishermen, boats, a ferry without a ferry, and one happy little family.
Eric called it our STAYcation and I think he's coined a new phrase as well as a new family tradition. We saw all those things and more on our way to a city only 2 hours away. Exploring is quite fun!
p.s. I'm just a little annoyed that my computer isn't reading my mind and putting the pictures on correctly...I'll fix it later I've gotta post this and get some shut eye.
I loved this picture - I got all of our shadows! (unfortunately I look an awful lot like a tree!)
This little man is fearless!

Oooo that looks like fun. Nice shadow shot! I can never get my kids to stay still long enough. I'm a big fan of the roadside attractions. Nothing says America like humungous picnic tables
What a fun trip! We love lake Michigan!
Last year we did a "staycation"- that's really cute by the way- I just called it a play day but I might have to copy you! Anyways- it was the best 2 days ever! Ted just stayed home from work- we slept in, went on bike rides, BBQued, played games- put the kids to bed and watched a movie! It was so nice to just be home together with nothing to do! I love the huge picnic table!
