Swimming In Lake Michigan!

Brooke is spending the day with her cousins at the beach. Despite the fact they all have names, they have all become known only as "big girls" (and right now, the coolest people on this planet).


She had a lot of fun playing in the sand, swimming, and just hanging out at the beach.


Brooke also had a lot of "1st's" today:
- First time in the water of Lake Michigan (including 1st time under the water ... on accident)
- First taste of BBQ potato chips (she approved)
- First time eating corn straight off the cob, after a demonstration from her three cousins. Since they are so cool, Brooke had to do it too.
- First time eating ribs off the bone (though she was basically chewing on a bone that Daddy had already cleared off pretty good already!).

Brooke also dipped french fries in ketchup. Although she has done it before, in the past she hasnt liked the ketchup. Again, since her cousins were doing it, she did it too. Now she apparently likes ketchup :)

Brooke had one other big 1st today ... the first time we were able to transfer her into her crib from the car! We didnt get home until 9:30PM, she fell asleep in the car around 9:00PM. (That is about 1-1.5 hours later than she normally goes to bed). We figured getting her out of the car and bringing her into the house would wake her up, because it always does, but not today! She had such a fun and exciting day in Michigan that she was just too tuckered out to wake up. I carried her up into her bed and she drowsily said "Hi" to me a couple of times, but never fully woke up. She is now peacefully asleep in bed, probably dreaming of all of the fun she had today.
