Today was also wonderful, as are most days in Charlevoix. Upon rising, we ate breakfast and chatted a little bit. Next step was to kayak over to Oyster Bay and look at the ship wreck- and old ship that had been sunk. I thought it would be a lot of fun, until we paddled closer, and I realized how creepy old ship wrecks are! We paddled slowly around for awhile and then ate a snack we had packed.
As we were leaving Oyster Bay, guess who we ran into on the water? Josh and Jess (the Smithlings), who were sailing the sunfish around the lake. We had a great time chatting with them, and continued on into the lake, enjoying the choppy water and swells left by motor boaters. We ran into them several more times, and even shared a snack together way out on the lake! How much fun :o) The down-side of this whole trip is the sunburnt legs. Totally worth it though.
The afternoon was spent hanging out up at my parents cottage, and then playing some more in the water. We invented a game involving a volley ball, and two boogie boards anchored at the bottom of the lake as goal posts, and one team had to hit the boogie board with the volleyball, and visa versa. It was loads of fun and used up a lot of energy.
After dinner, which was wonderfully prepared by Aunt Cindy (yummy!) most of us headed to the great big sand dunes along Lake Michigan. The Sun had already gone down by the time we got there, but the colors in the sky were still quite bright and beautiful. We played around in the sand, jumping and running down the dunes, until we got back to the house for a round of sundaes as we crashed on the couches.
Bliss.
