At the Sandy Beach

While Cousin Alex was visiting for Camp Aunt Rachel, we visited the sandy beach and brought along YaYa’s friend, an exchange student from Austria.  (A very patient and polite exchange student who clearly can put up with a lot of crazy!).

The girls were off for a stroll along the beach, and the boys buried each other in sand and ran around irritating one another.  However, they seemed to have a lot of fun irritating each other!

They found about twelve ways to bury one another in sand, but my favorite was when Mr. SP dug himself an enormous hole, sat in it and covered himself back up with sand.  Then, after about ten minutes he realized he was stuck.  Really stuck.  He could not get the right leverage to pull himself out no matter what he did.  Because he’d been a little bit of a pill, I decided to just leave him that way for awhile.  Eventually, after about a half hour or so he managed to dig himself back out, but I captured some pretty funny video clips in the mean time.

YaYa’s friend tried swimming in Lake Superior for the first time as well, which was really fun to watch.  It seems my crazy family can inspire almost anyone to be brave enough to fully submerge in the frigid Lake.  We are sad that she is heading back to Austria soon.
