Our day at the beach started with a half mile hike through the woods at Saugatuck Dunes. We could not convince Bjorn that he should walk along the path to the beach, he wanted to walk off the trail into the woods while mumbling something about monkeys.

Sunscreen application.

Ready to go, but not sure if he wanted to go anywhere.

Bjorn evaluates the situation.

He would need to think long and hard about entering the water.

Conflicted.

We didn't have all day and everyone likes being on a boat, right?

He was more at home in his hole.

Protected from the occasional wave.

Checking in with mom.

Having a snack.

I think he ate as much sand as he did chips, and he ate a lot of chips.

Moving sand from one place to another.

Back in the hole.

Lake Michigan.

Packing up after 4 hours.

Back at the beach (Douglas Beach) after dinner in Saugatuck.

This beach had lots of little rocks that needed to be thrown back into the water.

Rocks in hand.

Time to go home, but Bjorn tries to sneak back down the stairs to the beach.

A good day comes to a close.

Bjorn tries to car surf, no more Michael J. Fox movies for him.

Bjorn's first attempt to climb a tree failed but I was there to catch him.

Bjorn emerges from his hole to throw a rock.

Sittin' and watchin'.

The sand mover.

Throwing rocks.

You dropped something.
