Beach Baby

One of the beauties of being in Michigan is going to mass at my childhood church right on the shores of the lake.  Although spending a day at the beach was one of the items on our Michigan to-do list that never materialized, it was impossible to avoid all together as we stepped out of mass on our last day there overlooking the lake.  We couldn't resist a short walk in the sand, which turned into dipping in our toes, which turned into wet dress hems, which turned into wonderful memories.

This is one of my absolute favorite photos of our 19 days in the States.  I have one more, but can't get it to load.  I'll have to keep trying.
