Tonight we went for a walk on the beach, sand fences and all. I wanted the kids to see what the lake looked like all frozen up. It is so quiet - no waves hitting the beach. The sand is piled in drifts from the fences and the wind. You can see the tops of a typical snow fence in these pictures, we walked right over them! Its hard to imagine that this is one of the top beaches in the US and will be again in just a few months. We did climb out on the ice, but we had been warned to not go far and to not go into any crevices. I let the kids climb the first hill and then to the next one and just look over the edge and the rolling waves covered in ice. It was pretty cool. Then we started to walk out to the light house, but we could only get halfway as the rest of the walkway is so bumpy and ice covered its pretty impassable. We had a great view of the sunset, and then when we turned around we had a great view of the full moon.
