It was a Memorial Day weekend up north at Lake Charlevoix like we rarely get to experience. Usually we are happy with one day of sun, temperatures comfortable enough to sit outside without a sweatshirt on, and water that is at least warm enough to dangle your toes in for a little bit. This weekend was completely different! We had beautiful sunshine, temperatures in the high 80's, and the water temperature was 70 degrees!! Needless to say - it was a FANTASTIC weekend!! We swam, ran, threw a tiny nerf football around, ate great food, boated around the lake, read, napped, walked, and had so much fun just being with the family!! :-)
Ever since Taylor was born, I have been looking forward to her first trip up north, and it was as wonderful as I had hoped. She traveled as well as a 3 1/2 month old can (there was lots of playing with toys and making funny faces while sitting next to her in the backseat), and she seemed right at home at the cottage. She slept really well at night, and had some great naps during the day (I think the fresh lake air and soothing sounds from the water had something to do with this :-)). It was fun to watch her take in all the new sights and sounds. We spent time in Boyne City and Charlevoix, and she had her first view of Lake Michigan. She also got to wiggle her toes in the sand on our beach, and splash her feet in the shallow water. We didn't take her for an actual boat ride this time around, but it's on the list of things to do for next time!!
