Memorial Day at Lake Michigan

We decided to chance a trip to the Chicago Temple and Lake Michigan even though the weather wasn't great.

The temple was beautiful, but we arrived in a downpour. Leila really wanted to get out in the rain just so she could use her umbrella. Mommy was a good sport and took her out to see the temple fountain...about halfway there, Leila was soaked and complained it was "too cold." Silly girl.

Our first attempt at the beach didn't work out. The storm had too much lightning and the lifeguards wouldn't let us out onto the beach, so we drove north in search other beaches and a break in the storm. We saw some of the most beautiful neighborhoods, beaches, and vistas on the way. Once we found a beach that suited us, both Leila and Ben had a blast playing in the water, the sand, and on the swings. Here are some of our pictures and videos:
