Dave, Emma, and I spent the last couple of days in Michigan with Dave's parents, sister and her family. We were in a rented house near Glenn and it was a very nice get away. We were able to just relax and enjoy the cooler than normal summer weather, explore the local community, and play family games.
The house we rented had private beach access along Lake Michigan, but the beach wasn't very big. We took stairs down to the dunes and depending on the tide, the lake either came right up to the bottom of the dunes or the beach might be 5 to 10 feet wide. Our nephews, Jack and Kyle, loved every trip they could take down there... Emma didn't like it nearly as much. Emma seemed to like the sand and loved being NEAR the water, but she cried if we tried to put her in the water. She liked it if one of us held her and stood in the waves, but didn't want her little toes anywhere near the surface of the water.
As nice as it is to be connected to the world through e-mail, facebook, etc, it's also very nice to go a couple of days without thinking about those things. We had a very pleasant drive home and get back to the routine tomorrow.
