Lake Michigan

It was 10:00 and I was just getting up at my grandparents cottage.  There cottage is up north right on lake Michigan.  I put on some clothes and went to have breakfast.  We were having blueberry buckle.  It was very tasty and it had blueberries that we picked just a day or 2 before.  After breakfast we sat around a little bit and then got our bathing suits on to go down to the lake.

We started walking down our stairs to the lake.  The lake is on the bottom of a very steep hill.  There are around 76 stairs that we have to walk down to get there.  On the beach there is a lot of dune grass with a path in it for us to get through to the beach.  There was a storm a few weeks ago the made the beach just be cliffs and now there is only about 5 feet of beach left.  We dug a big ramp down to what is left of the beach so we didn't have to use a ladder.  The cliffs were 12 feet high in some places.  We would stomp on the tops of cliffs so there would be soft sand under them and then jump into the sand.  The water was cold but we would still swim in it.  We had a buoy that used to be about 30 yards out but since the water came up it is now around 50 yards out.  We would like to take a giant 10 ft by 10 ft tube out and tie it to the buoy and play around on it.  When big waves would come we would stand on it and try to stay on but usually we would get knocked off.  The water wasn't very deep at the buoy but it was almost up to our heads.
