Memorial Day fun?

Michael and I had planned to go to Potowatomi Zoo today for memorial day. The butterfly exhibit is open now and we thought simone would enjoy the train and pony rides. This morning Simone asked if we could go to the beach instead. Michael and I thought about it and decided....alright, we can go to the beach. So we packed up 2 bottles, food for river...changes of clothes for both kids, diapers, drinks, towels and suntan lotion. We drove to New Buffalo and it was about 10 degrees cooler there...or so it felt. The water was really too cold to swim in, but we did wade in it. Simone and I also played in the sand a little. Michael and River sat up on the beach and Michael was mostly busy keeping sand out of River's mouth. We stayed about an hour and then went to find someplace to eat. The restaurant was crowded, but it was by the beach. When we went to pay our bill the waitress said they only took cash or check.....didn't know restaurants did that anymore. Michael went to the atm....$3 surcharge. We ended up leaving one of Simone's cutest hats in the bathroom. DRAT! Well we were all together on Memorial day and we did have an adventure......
