Maegan at Lake Michigan

First trip to the beach
We almost didn't go to the beach today due to the rainy weather, but the sun did come out just long enough for us to enjoy playing in the sand. Maegan enjoyed crawling around in the sand and trying to eat it. Honestly, I think she did succeed in eating some. It certainly was everywhere...in her hair and ears, between her toes and fingers, and everywhere else, including all over me.
The water was cold and the lake was choppy (there was a red flag out for no swimming), so we just sat along the edge of the water and let the waves wash over our legs. Maegan didn't like the loud cold waves so much, but made up for it by playing in the warm soft sand.
There is a stream that feeds into the lake there on the beach, and the shallow water was a bit warmer for us to play in. The picture of Maegan eating sand has this water in the background. The color looks strange in the picture, but the water was clear.
After playing for awhile, the water was too cold and Maegan was tired. We washed off as much sand as we could and wrapped her in a towel. She fell asleep on my lap and we tucked her in to her stroller. Not much later, it started to sprinkle so we headed out.
