KI, OH - 2011

Oh what a vacation...swimming, biking, sand castles, sun and fun!


Kelleys Island, OH


Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Vitale

In all of my sandcastle-engineer-building glory! The kids 'helped' but mostly dug trenches, transported water, poured it in the motes and stomped on castle tops. No matter what it was good. They loved the castle city.



The beach at Kelleys Island State Park is wonderful. Lots of sand, calm waters - cold this year - but calm thanks to the break wall. Swimming was fun. Dylan had a hard time early in the week since it was so cold. He was blue pretty fast. Thanks to hotter weather, less clouds and a couple degree warm up of Lake Erie water trapped in the bay - he was swimming like crazy the last day. Nothing like a good lake shark!











Just picture Gavin included in the picture and not sleeping in the back seat of the Pacifica. Gavin didn't make it the 4 miles from the house to the west point of the island. The sunset was beautiful but not nearly as beautiful as my girl. Gorgeous girl. I appreciate the beautiful peach colored light.
