Last week Thursday we packed up some bags and a cooler and headed to Point Beach State Forest in Two Rivers. Kai has expressed a lot of interest in beaches (of course...the child we moved away from easy ocean access is enthralled with all things sea) this summer, so we thought he would have a fantastic time there. He really did. It was super fun to play with him there. He had no fear of the icy water of Lake Michigan or of the hundreds of sea gulls hanging around waiting for a picnic scrap. It was a fantastic place for an independent, water obsessed toddler because there was a giant sand bar and the water was never much past his waist. Lots of room to explore. I thought that he would be more interested in building sand castles than he was...I guess the pull of the lake was too strong. Although, he did enjoy watching some older kids and their Dad build a giant moat with a castle in the middle. He didn't want in on the action, though. We were kind of hesitant about going due to the hour plus drive, but the ride was actually really pleasant and I am sure that we will be making more trips there. Actually, I am tempted to move to Two Rivers...I am thinking being near that kind of soothing presence at all times would be pretty fantastic.
