A Day At The Beach

Weight 296 (still stuck!)


We took the family on a 3 hour round trip to see the frozen waves on Lake Michigan. The windchill was -1 degree.

Lighthouse and pier

We forgot the chairs.

Maybe we need a (snow) shovel

Is this Antarctica?


Wait, Mom! Don't leave us!
(If you enlarge this picture, you can see
the snow blowing sideways.)

We found a new home.

The abominable blue snowwoman.





We missed the ice festival by one day.

The waves were frozen at least a mile out from the shore. It seemed strange to be at a place where we are usually so hot. In the summer it's not uncommon to have 90 + degree temperatures.

I know that I would never have ventured out on the ice before losing the weight I have (yes, I still have a long way to go). I'm proud of the fact that I didn't hesitate to do something so memorable with my girls.

Thanks to Cheryl for inspiring me to do this!
