I was able to see my oldest friend (other than my sister) a few weeks ago. Jaime and I were in the same Kindergarten class, and that was the start of a long friendship! Jaime and her family have a cabin in Eagle Harbor, Michigan, where they summer. (Eagle Harbor is in the U.P. of Michigan on the Keweenaw Peninsula). I have wonderful memories of spending time in this idyllic place...and I was so happy to share this with my kids!!
Jaime and Lola. The kids LOVED Lola, and she was so patient with them!
The beaches of Lake Superior were our playground. We spent time at the majestic Sand Bay, pictured below.
Before heading to the beach, we stopped at the Jampot, a tiny shop run by monks of the Society of St. John. We were greeted by the delicious smell of baked goods wafting from the shop...we had a hard time deciding on beach treats because of the wide selection of baked goods and confections!!
These girls love the beach!
Nora got a lift down the steps.
We lucked out on the weather. It was sunny and warm, and the typically-chilly Lake Superior wasn't too chilly.
The sand is fine...perfect for building sand castles!
Jaime and I decided to venture in. We look a little cold here.

Time was also spent at the rock beach behind the cabin. There are plenty of rocky coves and hiding spots, which provided tons of entertainment for the kids.
We worked really hard to get a picture of all 3 looking.

The adventures of William and Audrey!
The men decided to look for blueberries in the woods that bordered the beach. They were glad to find some!
This child is fearless.

A trip to Eagle Harbor is not complete without a campfire on the beach (or as William would call it a BOND-FIRE).
Playing on the beach at dark, and a bedtime snack around the fire was the right way to end a fun day!
We had a blast in Eagle Harbor! Thanks, Jaime! We can't wait to see you again.
