Frankfort, MI

---

We got back from Frankfort several hours ago. We had a great time, some pretty good weather, and a few memories here and there.

Check out some of the pictures below, and click on any of them to see a larger version.

We mini-golfed here. Fortunately, the course was not as off kilter as the sign. I have no idea where the self-storage part of the business was. Maybe it tipped over like the sign, and had to be removed?

K gives a preview of this year's Halloween costume: disembodied head in foam.

The boys, and their friends Hannah and Rachel, constructed this royal estate on time and under budget. On the minus side, it was made of sand, and was found to have been destroyed later in the day. Oh, the humanity!

I swear I have no idea how this picture got in here...

The kids found a poor bee struggling to walk in the sand (it couldn't fly). I felt sorry for it and gave it a Pringle.

The boys pose at sunset on the beach.

It was pretty windy the second day we were there, but we went to the beach anyway, because what's the point of staying 100 yards from Lake Michigan if you don't go to the beach? These folks ventured down to the beach, too, but decided to sit with their backs to the wind. Good idea, if only they had not planted their chairs twenty feet from the porta-johns. We're still completely puzzled about it.

The boys act cool at The Cool Spot, a popular ice cream and fudge shop on Main Street.

The lighthouse, in a postcard picture taken by J. There's nothing more peaceful than a sailboat coming home between the ends of the two piers.
