Lake Michigan, oh how I love thee...

There are several things I miss about Michigan (other than my family of course). The fruit trees (and bushes). The fact that it doesn't get dark until 10pm in the summer. The green green grass that feels so good on bare feet. Autumn leaves. And last (for this list), but certainly not least...Lake Michigan!

Growing up we used to go camping at Lake Michigan every summer. And when not camping there, we'd often just go for the day and picnic, swim, and fall asleep in the sun. My cross country team trained there in the summer. And my mom used to let me skip school once a year to sneak off to the beach together. The feeling of the cool air coming off of the lake and the sand in between my toes is just enough to put me in nostalgia bliss for quite some time.

Taking Ezra to the Lake was an absolute must for our first trip to Michigan.
