May brought some summer-like weather with highs around 90. This, of course, meant a trip to the beach which was enjoyed by all.
Let's just say that Lake Superior is more than a bit chilly in May. In fact, what in the world was Suzanne thinking?!?!?!? It was downright COLD (the word "numbing" comes to mind)!
Grandpa Curry brought Henrik an early birthday present--a new tricycle just his size. It has already made numerous trips up and down the driveway.
Memorial day weekend meant it was time for our annual trip to Traverse City for the Bayshore Half-Marathon. We decided to take an extra day and go visit the Larsens in Frankfort for a night. It was just as warm there and the kids got to try the slip-n-slide for the first time. It took a bit for the kids to get the hang of it, and they weren't real thrilled about the "slip" part but the water was cold and laughter plentiful.
We had time the next day for a quick trip to the Pte. Betsie lighthouse . . . and the kids' first trip to Sleeping Bear Sand dunes. They both loved climbing the dunes and running back down.
On to Traverse City, with a yummy lunch at North Peak Brewery and then coloring with grandma and grandpa Larsen while waiting for dinner. We ate early so that we could walk down to the "Girls on the Run" race and watch cousin Ella (and friend) complete their first 5k. It was impressive and inspiring watching all those girls completing a 5k together. Great job girls!
Saturday morning was a great day for a half marathon. Chad had never run this course before and in celebration of our anniversary we ran the race together (thanks for slowing down to run withe me!). It was a beautiful morning along the peninsula and we celebrated the race and our anniversary with dinner at the Boathouse later that night. It was honestly one of the better meals I have ever had!
