Walk on Water

A huge iceberg frozen ridge - 12 feet or more

on top of the berg

At the side of the berg - it was slippery!

We walked on water - the frozen kind. We were told this was the most frozen lake Michigan has been in over 20 years. People were driving out from Grand Rapids to look at it and walk out on it. I convinced the family that it was an adventure we couldn't pass up.  They weren't so sure. I hear lots of groans when I suggest an adventure - but we all went.

It was beautiful.  Truly, these pictures don't do it justice.  We walked out on the lake (not on the cement walkway) because it was much flatter and easier terrain on which to travel.  I wanted to walk out to the light house where the 'blue' chunks were.  From shore, you could see these bright blue bricks in the distance and I wanted to see them up close.  We made it!  There were HUGE cracks in the ice, but you couldn't see any moving water anywhere so I never felt we were in danger.
