It reminds us of the place we go to feel at peace, to breathe in fresh air and put our toes in the warm sand and bodies in the unsalted water.
We enjoyed a couple of awesome beach days with Oma, Opa, cousins, aunts and uncles.
Cousin Eric was kind enough to take us for a boat ride Saturday afternoon. The water was fairly choppy when Jane & Cam took their place at the bow of the boat. Due to their up front vantage point, a couple of big waves made a huge splash right over the top of them simultaneously causing them to get drenched, surprised and laugh about the entire scene. Even with the somewhat bumpy ride, feeling the waves guide us through the whitecaps was exhilarating. We're definitely considering a waterproof camera for future outings.
Not only was the beach great for strolling, but the sandbars are so shallow! It was easy to push the Cam Mobile through the water, especially when its wheels are actually on the sand versus floating as they normally are that far out in the lake.
The following day brought calm waters and kayak rides. When asked if Cam preferred the bumpy ride or the quiet kayaking, like any boy, his response was an exuberant, "the boat ride!"
Cousin Steff gave Cam an early birthday present- a police speed boat to race in the water! Cam thought it was so cool! Our entire fam enjoyed a tasty dinner at Old Channel Inn, compliments of Opa and Oma- many thanks!
As summer continues to travel at a record pace, it's hard to believe August is already here. And with summer comes the realization that there's nothing quite comparable to the sand in your toes, your bed, the car and anywhere else you landed. It's a small price to pay for a front-seat view of the best sunsets anywhere around!
Camology Quotes:
Cam is very observant and always seems to notice if something, anything is out of place.
Oma thought she may have done something wrong when Cam announced:
"Oma, I need to talk to you."
What is it Cam? asked Oma, rather nervously.
"You left your slippers in the bathroom!"
*please note- it may not sound funny until you hear Cam's super squeaky giggle-speaking when he thinks something is beyond hilarious!
