Laowai

 

Look at her – she is always striking a pose. And at some point she always feels inspired to dance and sing in the sand. I laugh and shake my head. Where does that spirit come from?

We fit in a couple more trips to the beach before the the first day of school. I feel so lucky to live just a few minutes away from beautiful Lake Michigan. We’ve been stuck in a weather pattern of scattered storms so the second trip to the beach was just for a walk between storms. The girls collected beach glass. They ran around in sand that had been flattened by heavy rain and had fun making the first footprints. I gazed at the big beautiful houses that line the beach on one side and the stormy colored lake and clouds on the other.
