We spent yesterday in Saugatuk. We walked around town, found a little playground to play in for a little while, looked at some boats, then ate lunch. After all that, we headed for the beach. Anna held our hands as we walked down some steps to get to the sand. We were just a little ways from the steps when she decided to just plop herself down right there. Matt and I headed for the water, knowing Anna would eventually follow.
And she did. She didn't want to go near the water at first. It was a little windy and the waves are very loud. She slowly started getting her feet wet, though, and had fun throwing rocks, shells, and sticks in the water.
Then she got really brave and would run in and then out when the waves would come in.
It didn't take her too long to feel comfortable enough to go in up to her knees. That look on her face was not one of cold (Lake Michigan in May--about 40 degrees), but one of annoyance that I was trying to pull her out of the water so she didn't go further in and end up falling!
