Thankfully Superior's level was up, but it was unnaturally warm. I would be sad if it stayed that way. Its chilliness is part of why it remains so clear. It also keeps the beaches relatively clear of tourists. :)

I can't imagine a warm Lake Superior. That lake holds so much lore and mystique, non of which are warm (to me) but rather icy, majestic and haunting. I've just become very homesick for MI.

I'll be in Charlevoix/Traverse City area before too long. I can't wait to take my daughter to Lake Michigan.

Our little girl did pretty good for a 4mo. As long as I was swinging her over the water and dipping her feet, it was all good.

The slow dip confused her though.

I recently attempted the "full submersion" at the pool and it didn't go over to well with her. They sure do have a way of reintroducing you to things, don't they? I've not looked forward to time at the lake like this since I was a kid. Playing is fun!
