Here's the waves coming onto shore. They were about 12 feet further into the lake. I wouldn't have wanted to be out there in a boat, but it really was beautiful to watch and see the power of the lake. I think that those of us who live to close to a fresh water lake really take it for granted. It is gorgeous and a great part of creation!
This is called the Polar Bear Dip. Everyone runs into the lake. This happened on Saturday. It was warmer out than Friday although the lake was only 60. Too cold for me!
Pumpkin carving was done on Thursday night. Here are some of the kids with their pumpkins.
Here's Shaelyn with one of the cupcakes she decorated. Anyone like candy corn?

Great pictures- I love the beach where they wrote Polar Bear in the sand!
Looks like Shaelyn loves candy corn- good thing she has a dental visit coming up this week huh!
Glad you did okay in the storm. It was wild here and we were wondering about you. I can hear those waves when I look at the pictures. I'm glad you're back!
We would love to get a camper. The last time we camped we had a huge storm pass which destroyed our tent. We spent the remainder of the night in the truck. That was probably 10 years ago - haven't fixed or replaced the tent and I'm getting too old to sleep on the ground. :-)
Stop by - I have given you an award.
This looked like a great trip. I've never been camping before. There is nothing like the power of the Ocean and that fresh air - makes me want fish and chips!!!
you have been awarded...stop by!
even though Karen gave it to you already, I meant to say!
Wow - those wave photos are so beautiful! I wouldn't have been in that water either!! Shaelyn can decorate some cupcakes for me - I love candy corn - although I love the little candy pumpkins better. :)
Looks like you guys had a great time....I remember doing the polar bear swim at summer camp...but that was the summer!!!
How fun! I have never seen a lake that you couldn't see the land on the other side. That must be a HUGE lake!!!
Wow - that is a MUCH prettier beach than we have at our lake - I am sooo glad the weather cooperated - we were a little worried! the pumkins look great and Shaelyn knows how to decorate a cupcake!
Those polar bear dippers are crazy!
Looks like your camping trip was a great success !! Such fun ! Can't wait to see the rest of the photos !!
I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE candy corn but I can't get them here ! They must be an American thing ! I always have some when I visit my parents !!!
It looks like a great camping trip. I love the Great Lakes. It is amazing to me that they can be so big. No one could really believe it until they see it. The Polar Bear Dip- NO THANK YOU! Although I love the pic where they wrote in the sand.
I miss the beach---I am a native Floridian!
I am glad you are back and look forward to catching up with your adventures. And boy----that is a LOT of candy corn!! :) That's what makes it taste great, right?
