In June, it wasn't quite warm enough to get into the lakes for watersports; we spent a "chilly" afternoon on Lake Michigan and cruising up the river to visit downtown.
I tried to find a picture where Tyler wasn't blocking someone. Incidentally, he was being goofy and blocking one of his two sisters in all of the shots. Chose this picture because I look better in this picture than the other one. Sorry Brooklyn.
Our little boat ornament
Hey captain! This is a lighthouse that you pass as you move from "the lake" into "the river"
Getting four kids to look photo worthy requires Photoshop
"Downtown" from "the lake"
We were near a big boat as we moved through the river. They lifted all of the bridges so that the boat could pass through. The kids really liked it and wished we were big enough to merit moving a city street. Afterwards, we also passed under a train bridge (while the train was moving overhead). It was almost too much for my boys (Jake especially). We rode into downtown, "parked" the boat, and walked up to street level where we went to the mall and had lunch. It was almost surreal to leave the boat and go out to lunch in the middle of downtown. Very cool.
