Silver Lake & Pentwater

Yesterday, definitely had its ups and downs. It was nice taking a drive thru Pentwater and over to Silver Lake, but Reyna was acting like a brat. I don't know how else to describe the way she was acting. It was bratty-ness as the main entree with a side dish of whining. She never napped, which probably did not help.

When we got to Silver Lake, Jade got the girls and I settled on the beach and he went into the lighthouse. I was going to go into the light house after he came out, but chickened out. The first thing he said was, "you are not going to like going up there." He knows me all too well. I guess it was a spiral staircase the entire way up and you can look down the higher you get. I am deathly afraid of heights. No thanks. Not for me. I took pictures of Jade and that was good enough.

Oh, did I mention how windy it was at the beach? It was gorgeous + hot, don't get me wrong, but it was blowing like crazy. Our stuff was covered in sand. The minute we got back to Ludington, we all bathed to get the sand out of every little crack and crevass.

I know I mentioned Reyna was being a  spoiled brat slightly difficult, but the worst of it was when we stopped for lunch. She was ticked at me b/c I wouldn't wait all day for her to get her socks and shoes back on. I finally put them on her and she was ticked. We sat down, looked at the menu and she announced she wasn't eating lunch b/c I wouldn't let her put her shoes on. A little while into lunch, I saw this lady coming our way. She was a pretty large woman with a tank and shorts on and this crazy looking hat. Reyna is at the age where she blurts things out and it's one of those, OMG, put me under the nearest rock so I can hide comments. I decided to make mention about the ladies hat before she said anything.

Me:

"Reyna, look at that ladies very nice hat."

Reyna:

"Yes, and look at her very nice boobs, too."

Okay, so in the end, I did not deter her from making a comment about this ladies huge ass hat, instead she decided to comment on the ladies very large chest! Even worse.

I didn't get the greatest of pictures yesterday during our excursion. It was too windy to bring out the camera for a long period of time at the beach. I was too afraid it was going to get covered in sand. I should mention Reyna's bathing suit in these pics. Why does she have a swim diaper on instead of her bathing suit bottoms? She was mad at me for packing that bathing suit and not her little mermaid one, she threw the bottoms on the floor and we left them behind and I was not aware of this until we were gone. So, it was either her only pair of panties or a swim diaper. Gah!!!!
