Door County beach play

In early July, I had a great assignment to travel up to Door County to photograph Rutabaga Paddlesport’s Door County Sea Kayak Symposium.  We’d had that weekend blocked off as a potential family vacation in Door County, so we combined the two.  Bryan took care of the kids while I worked, and then I joined them for some outings to beaches and playgrounds.  It was a great weekend!  One of the highlights was sitting around the campfire as a family.

Here are some photos (taken with my phone since I was “camera’d out”) of Bryan and the kids playing in the water at Sand Bay Beach, which was just down the road from the Wagon Trail Campground where we stayed.07-09-11_iPhone_012

Here’s a picture of the kids asleep in the tent.  Such cuties.

On Sunday, before we left, we visited Newport State Park.

The beach was a lot rockier, but we found lots of crawfish exoskeletons, which made for some fun hunting.

There was a spot where the sand was almost like quicksand.  Andrew and I had fun letting our feet get swallowed up.

Homeward bound.  Two tired kids!
