Lake Huron Evening

Yesterday we took a trip to Lake Huron. We attempted to visit a Lumberman's Monument and interpretive nature center outside of Oscoda, Michigan, but the directions and maps I printed were useless and wrong. Also, our GPS died. So we drove several hours from home, then in a big lost loop around the former Wurtsmith AirForce Base (at least, I'm pretty sure it's just a former base now) and saw no helpful signs or anything, and decided just to head to the beach. Oscoda actually has a quite nice city beach, and we played there for several hours, before heading home at dusk and getting home verrrry late.

Here's just a few pix of the splashing, leaping, digging, burying, and swimming that took place:

When we returned home I found different maps and directions for the Oscoda attractions we'd intended to see, placing them in an entirely different place than the first website had, so we'll try that again another time. It turns out it was the perfect day for the beach anyway. Note to self: Next time leave a little earlier, it's a long drive.

As a bonus picture, here's me at the beach, with my 26 week belly:
