Beach Trip

This morning while at swim lessons, Mike's friend texted him and asked if we wanted to meet at the dunes today. Since we had no other plans and Riley was bummed she could not play in the sand at the pool, we said why not. It was a quick stop home after swimming lessons and then we were on our way. The "garmin" steered us in the wrong direction, but after a scenic route through Indiana we finally made it. The girls had lots of fun at the beach. Riley loved the sand and the water, while Payton was loving the sand but a little unsure of the water. When the skies got dark, we packed up and headed for the truck to clean off as much of the sand as we could and get on the road. While we were getting the girls cleaned off, they lifeguards made an announcement that lightning had been spotted and the beach would be closed for at least one hour. No sooner did we start driving and the skies opened up!! It was raining so hard that it was even hard to see where we were driving. We made it home safely to our sunny house with not a cloud in the sky!!! The girls had so much fun that I think it is safe to say that there will be another beach trip in the near future. Here are just a few pictures that we got.
