~ How To Beat the Winter Blues

Winter is long here in the north.

I start feeling a little blue around February.

So we snuck away to one of our favorite places this weekend on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Just being near water always makes me feel better,

We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the lake this time of year,

But it was not quiet in our car, nor in our hotel.

We enjoyed two full, loud days with the boys.

We swam,

We had late-night pizza,

We played a roudy game of spoons,

We invaded the arcade (where Mommy won prizes for everyone),

We swam some more,

And we ice skated (without skates).

If you can't beat winter, you may as well embrace it!
