An adventure with the 3 oldest grandkids

You probably notice that I take many more pictures of the little ones - today I went fossil hunting with the older 3 grandkids - Simon was interested in playing in the water on the big shelf of rocks on the point while Mary and Therese and I looked for fossils. 
A cluster of birch trees on the edge of the beach before we head out...
 In and out on a glorious day - the water continues to be very cold, but the kids still have a lot of fun in and out of the water...
 So pretty to be surrounded by this sight!
 Simon finds a rock to stand on in the waves washing over.
 Checking out a possible fossil - we found a sponge that looks like a fish and a fossil that is shaped like the lower peninsula of Michigan - "Now find the upper penn."  Was the response to our great finds.
Therese found some really great fossils on her first time out.  She really has an eye for finding some special rocks.  Nice and small so that she can take them back to Texas and have some special memories of her time in Michigan. 
The two cousins water grandpa's feet so that they grow or smell better... not sure.  He said that that water is cold and they should water John's or my feet instead. 
 Lots of fun in the sand and the lake with grandpa and lots of water for his feet.

 The boys having dump truck derby - crashing head on.
 Bernadette sees grandma's camera and likes to pose.
Water for grandpa's feet...

Supper of grandpa's wonderful hamburger on the grill.  Bless-bless, Barb
