Oval Beach

I had mentioned before that when we were in Columbus Greta started making an unhappy noise.  So, when we got back I called and made an appointment with a place in GR that we have had really good experiences with.  We are still new enough to the area that we haven't found a place here but I think we might try a place a few people have recommended next time.  The plan was to drive up after I got done with work and then drop the car off.  The kids were gonna camp in the back yard since Jon and his family were occupying the rooms we normally sleep in and then hit the beach the next day!




The beach day that didn't happen before with Dad and Jon happened finally!  Holly and her family and Dale and Marcella joined too... it was quite the group of people.  We went to Oval Beach and the water was STILL freezing.  The weather was better than last time with Megan, but it still wasn't show casing how awesome Lake Michigan really is.  The kids still went in the water for a little bit, but I didn't!







It was fun hanging out with Holly and talking, but we didn't stay real long because the wind picked up and everybody got chilly.  We went back to Mom and Dad's house for dinner which concluded our beach day.  We had to pick up the car after everybody was fed, and the plan was originally to drive back after that but Mom and Dad asked if we would stay another day.  Jon wanted to go shooting the next day and we had talked about doing it together since I had never shot a gun and I figured it was a good way to hang out with him doing something that he loves.  So... we stayed another day.
