Lake Michigan

When I happily announced that we reached the beach, Elle looked around and started whining, "Not here! This is not the beach!". Oh boy, my 3-years-old was driving me nuts! Even though I kept assuring her that was the beach, she shook her head kept saying NO in tears. I begged her to tell me why she thought this was not the beach and finallly she blurted out, "SEE! That is OCEAN!... and ocean has SHARKS!". Oh boy, her response surely amused me and made me speechless at the same time. Lake Michigan indeed looks like an ocean!

Regardless of the drama we had upon arrival, she was having a blast playing with the sand and crashing the waves in the water. Her smiley face and bubbly giggles made my heart sings.
