A beautiful day in the neighborhood

After a week of being cooped up in the house with the kids, it was so nice to have a beautiful, sunny day. So on Saturday, we all got up early so Caleb could join in the Easter egg hunt at Pick 'N' Save. Then later in the morning, we walked over to Hill School Park. Caleb rode his bike while Sonya rode in the stroller. We even brought a few basketballs along to play with. The weather was so nice that Tim and Caleb even took off their jackets for a while at the park. I haven't been very good at taking pictures lately and since it was so bright outside, I could actually take some decent ones on my camera for once!

Sonya liked picking up the ball and carrying it around.


Here's a good one of daddy and Sonya

Later in the afternoon, we walked along Lake Michigan by the new canoe launch area. The waves were crashing along the beach and the shells crunched under our footsteps. Sonya absolutely loved walking on the wet sand (and eating a little off the rocks she found along the way). It was a nice leisurely family walk. Unfortunately, my camera kind of died earlier in the day so I didn't get any pictures. But... we'll definitely be going back again.
