More pictures and more fun...

"I'll stop those waves! I have a life-server on." Barends quote from when we walked out on the pier yesterday at the Holland State Park. We made him wear a life preserver because of the amount of waves and how much they were splashing on the pier. The water was beautiful, unfortunately i couldn't go in, because my daughter wasn't liking the sand blowing in her face too much. There were red flags out (no swimming due to strong undercurrent) but Trav and Barend, Barend just staying on the shore, braved the waters and waves. Barend enjoyed laying down in the sand while the waves pushed him forward further onto the shore, until a couple of them were big enough to get in his face. Poor B was shivering after just a few minutes because the air was cooler than the water.

Barend also wanted to see the lighthouse and since it was on the other side of the lake (Lake Macatawa) we drove around to the south side of Holland and went through a private gate thing to walk up to the lighthouse. Barend enjoyed the walk and the lighthouse, but it was starting to get late and colder. I had Juniper wrapped in a blanket and was holding her and Barend was on his dads shoulders. Trav turned and asked me if i was doing ok holding juniper, i told him yes and that was the last time trav asked...barend on the other hand asked it about 20 times, "how you doin back there mama?!?" My little boy :) Here are some pictures during last week and stuff...don't have any of the beach, cause both of us were too lazy to take any.
