Sunday Night at the Beach 2017: Meet a Friend

YaYa’s very good friend from music camp happens to live in Wisconsin (which is pretty crazy since music camp is on the International Border  of North Dakota).  Her family happened to be up the North Shore of Lake Superior for the weekend for a family trip, and on the way back through they stopped to meet up at the rocky beach.  Wahoo!  This was a highly anticipated affair.

The day had been crazily warm, but RIGHT before we left for the beach we had a little thunderstorm at our house (but nothing really at the beach).  The wind shifted and the temperature literally dropped 27 degrees in 21 minutes according to the newspaper the next day.  So, we ended up at the beach ill prepared for cold weather!

That didn’t stop great conversations and a fun time, though.  Since we were running a bit late because I misunderstood something and then we frantically tried to bring in the laundry drying outside ahead of the thundershower, we did not manage to stop at the grocery store to grab some food on our way.  YaYa’s friend’s mom graciously offered my crazy troupe some of their vegetables, humous, crackers, and cookies, and embarrassingly, my children depleted their food stores ridiculously quickly, taking advantage of the fact that I was busy talking and not watching how much they were actually eating.  I felt a little bad about that, but this family was so very nice, and it was really fun to meet them.

YaYa still can’t quite get the sassy pose down.
The siblings bombarded the last couple of frames.
