Beach Week - Part 3

One thing about digital cameras, I take a lot of pictures, then omit (very few) once I load them on my computer. Years ago, I would take 12-16 photos (a roll) and that would suffice to remember our time together. For those of you who love seeing all these family pictures, this is a treat. For those who are saying, "enough already", I understand. Near the end of our week, Kim's nephew came to take some family pictures. The following are pictures I took as the family gathered at Holland State Park.

I didn't get all the families together and that is why Nathan came. What a beautiful state park, I can't believe I have lived in this part of the state for almost 50 years and never came here before! Well all good things must come to an end. We said our good-byes and are filled with memories that will last a life time. This blog will be a blessing for re-living these times when memory fades. This gift says it well...

Beach Week - Part 2

After a new computer delay I bring another Beach Week post. This was the highlight of our summer. The days, all warm, surprised us with several days of overcast skies and thick fog. I loved that we didn't have to worry about an undertow and all the children spent hours learning how to kayak and paddle board.

There is nothing more joy filled than relaxing in the sunshine, feeling the warm breezes and hearing the voices of children at play.

One, not so sunny, day we went to the Dutch Village. This is a fun little village that replicates a town in the Netherlands with Dutch food, wooden shoes Delft dishes, native dance, a farm and rides. A good time for all our little Dutchmen.

Even on this day, the sun comes out and the beach beckons.
