Day 9

This morning we headed over to pebble beach to search for our first letterbox. It was a nice, scenic trail out to the area where we were to begin looking. Adam rode in the jeep stroller, Truman walked behind us, and Jacob and Daddy walked behind him. After finding it, Jacob helped Daddy push the stamps down in the notebooks. He seemed to like seeing what was under the stamps after he pushed them down. It felt so nice and cool in the woods next to Lake Superior. Once we were out of the woods it felt so hot and humid - we decided to take a trip to the Great Sand bay and to the Jampot. The temperature dropped 11 degrees from Copper Harbor to the Bay. I sat on the beach with Adam in the cool breeze while Jared and Jacob played by the water. The waves were coming in strong so Jacob wouldn't go in the water. He would run to the edge of the water, throw something in it, and run up towards me before the waves brought the water back. Adam was happy and full of smiles on the beach. We stayed at the beach for ~1 1 /2 hrs before going to the Jampot for some treats. Jacob fell asleep on the drive back and stayed asleep when I lay him in the tent. Adam slept in his swing. Jared and I played mexican train dominos. Grandma came down and stayed with the sleeping boys while Jared and I went to Dennis's and looked at his pottery. Later this evening we went over to Grandma's site and Jacob asked Grandma for some chalk. She got out her sidewalk chalk. They drew on the road and then Jacob decided to bang them together and said, "I sing". I was blowing bubbles for Jacob today when one landed in the dirt and he decided to eat it. He picked up a handful of dirt and shoved it into his mouth. After ice cream this evening, we took a walk over to pebble beach - the breeze of the lake felt great.
