The Farm in the Farms: At the beach with our California Babies!

I was so excited to see my niece Karrie yesterday that I woke up at 4:30am and could not go back to sleep. I was like a little kid on Christmas morning! I drove from Detroit to Holland MI (insert hand and point to lower outer palm across from thumb) to our cottage where we had a fun filled day planned. It was a GORGEOUS hot day...perfect for the beach and Lake Michigan. We spent most of the day on the beach, IN the water. Yes, I was in the water.....and it was lovely. Freya Bee, 4yrs old learned many things from my girls - her favorites were "whitecaps" and washing and conditioning her hair right in the lake. Her mom, Karrie will now have to deal with the fact that Freya was taught to leave the conditioner in for 6 minutes - that's what Emmy did so Karrie is doomed at the next bath time when she is in a hurry. Sorry Kar! :) Bishop and Freddie had a ball too....kicking waves and pretending to drive to the zoo in the golf cart parked on the beach. The big cousins loved every minute with their little cousins!

I am so grateful for yesterday.....it was such a joy to see my sweet niece, my sister in law Bobbi and the littles! Just LOVE them!!
