Training Kira Right

Yesterday, I again had the opportunity to visit the beach on a gorgeous fall day. Kira and I drove down to St. Joseph after school to visit Mom/Grandma Shirley at a rented cottage. As we went along M-63, we could see Lake Michigan periodically through the trees and really nice beach houses. Kira was very excited, and asked why we don't live there on the beach.

When we arrived at the cottage, Kira was eager to get down to the water and walk along the beach. Shoes and socks came off, and shorts got a little wet. When she heard Grandma had a dryer available, she wanted me to push her all the way in the water. She had a great time splashing at water's edge, writing in the sand with a feather, and watching the sea gulls. Except that we left to go eat at Chili's, Kira was very saddened to say good-bye to the beach.

That's my girl!

Kira I totally agree with you. I always hate leaving the beach. Wouldn't a beach house of our very own be wonderful!
