Time Away

Matt and I spent much of the morning and early afternoon getting things ready for Anna's birthday party tomorrow. We'll have lots of family here to celebrate. We decided to spend the rest of the day away to celebrate our anniversary (which was yesterday). We headed out to Holland and drove around downtown for awhile (Anna was sleeping), then we went to Tunnel Park and walked along the Lake Michigan shoreline for a little bit. Anna had her boots on, but loves the water and didn't have any sense of how far she could go in without going too far.

She did end up getting away from me at one point, walked into the lake and fell. Fortunately, the water wasn't deep and she landed on her hands. Her boots were full of water and was pretty much soaked from the waist down. We got her wet clothes off and Matt wrapped her up in his jacket and carried her to the car. We had her pajamas along, so she wore those the rest of the night. We went out for dinner and then headed home. It was so nice to get away and have some family fun together!
