Crystal Beach

This morning we headed out to Crystal Beach (along lake Erie). It's only 30 minutes from where we live, but it was the first time that we've been. We've had amazing weather here since we got back from BC. It's been about 28 degrees every day. Yesterday and today we had a little breeze which was was a welcome break from the hot sun. We're in full summer mode over here. Both Sarah and I have tan lines already...crazy! It's not even June yet. Makes me wonder what kind of summer we're going to have. I'm also curious how dark Sarah will be by the end of summer, even with spf 45 sunscreen on daily.

This was the first time that Sarah has been to a beach since we went on the cruise last February. She was apprehensive about the feeling of the sand at first and wasn't too sure about going in the water. Once her toes were in she was good to go! She did not want to get out of the water at all.

The water was cool but not freezing by any means. Since we went mostly to check it out we weren't prepared for a full beach day. However we did enjoy some time in the water, which was a wonderful way to cool down from the hot sun.

The water was beautiful and clear. It's also really shallow for a far distance, making it a safe place for kids to play. Sara had a wonderful time laughing and cheering as she played in the water. So fun; can't wait to go back!

Just checking out the little waves.

We also drove a couple minutes away to the boat launch area where there was an amazing playground and beautiful view of the lake.

This spot seemed perfect for a wedding in the park. Beautiful!

Little Calvin. We're loving the fact that he sits well in a stroller now.

Have a happy weekend! Hopefully you get some sun where you're at as well!
