waves last week

checking out the waves after a thunderstorm last week

what are those crazy people doing out there???
this is Jacob's preferred wave-watching spot... the pier freaks him out a little bit

beachin' it

the kids had a great time at the beach on Tuesday with our little friend, Olyvia

"look how far out I can go!"
"sand angels"


Jacob burying Olyvia, and Micah, himself












literally rolling in the sand














in the water

fun in the sun

it was a great day outside... these are the days that we do love Michigan!


super soaker!

it's the first time these relics have been in the US since they last had an exhibit here at the Field in 1977

good times in the bus on the way home

play time

Micah had a great time playing with his buddy, Olyvia, this week... they have so much fun together.

and after...

what a "big kid"!

the big day...

as promised, Jacob let me give him a "summer" do... a HUGE haircut!

here are a few before and during...

triumphant return!

our little world traveler, Jacob, came back from Alaska Sunday night, bearing gifts...
checking out the loot







he's back!
















Micah was pretty excited about his gifts... a train t-shirt and a DVD about Alaskan animals

micah's new kite

while Jacob was in Alaska, we kept Micah occupied with some fun activities...

a windy day at the beach was perfect for flying his new kite!

big smiles!

a walk on the pier

a sunny evening a couple of weeks ago, a walk on the pier... and climbing on "the rocks" of course.
