4th entry - Pentwater, last day

Harrison and Henry sported their spandex speed suits at the beach today.  As soon as we got there and parked the bikes, an older lady asked us why they were wearing wetsuits.  I gave her my "back off" eyes and all was well after that.  Both suits are a bit too small.  Henry looked like a Slav power lifter and Harrison had a considerable wedgie all day. 

We played in the sand, flew kites (got a new one today), and actually got in the water a bit.  Weather and water were both considerably warmer today.   We also enjoyed beach nachos with synthetic nacho cheese, which was dispensed by way of a hand pump, from the beach concession stand which were as good as what you can find at a typical county fair. 

Harrison tripled up with a popsicle, then ring pop, then ice cream today, plus pizza for dinner and of course the beach nachos.  Not too bad.  None of us have lost weight on this trip.  The fried fish dinner from Bortell's when Don was here was enough to prevent weight loss. 

Harrison experimented again with the training wheels off his new bike (a 16 incher if you were wondering, hoooo rahhh), but it didn't last long.  He cruises all over town with the training wheels but he has requested knee pads and elbow pads before he is willing to really get serious with just two wheels.  He IS talking about popping wheelies and ramping, but he understands that he has to ditch the wimp wheels if he is ever going to ride a wheelie down the street like the cool kids. 

We forced ourselves to use the full manual mode on the camera during the entire trip (for all the photos I've posted this week) and we're getting pretty good at it.  Danza has taken some killer shots...see below, the closeup of Harrison's eyes while he was eating his ice cream on the bandstand.  You'll know the picture I'm talking about when you see it. 

Anyway, we spent the evening packing things up and we're taking off after breakfast to get back to our normal lives.  It's been great up here.  And we can't wait to get back in August.
