Vacation at the Beach!

We packed up the car for a week of vacation and drove to our first stop, Toledo, for a trip to the zoo with Poppy.  Despite temperatures in the mid 90's, Daniel enjoyed seeing all the animals.

Seals and a sea turtle on display.

Daniel likes the fish, probably because

they are always on the move... just like Daniel.

This Meerkat knew it was hot out.

Poppy, Daniel, Daddy.

We headed north from Toledo to South Haven, Michigan for a several days at the beach on Lake Michigan.  Thanks to some friends of ours, Daniel had a DVD player to use in the car.  He found it very amusing to be watching Elmo in the car.

 "Elmo in car, Elmo in car!"

The beach was nice, complete with a light house.

At the hotel Daniel went swimming for the first time

ever and enjoyed the water.  He also liked his swim suit.

 We dug lots of holes on the beach.

 It was a nice vacation at the beach!
