Door County

As I mentioned before, we had a short get away to Door County last weekend with our friends Chris and Cait and Chris' boys, Sam and Alex. We stayed in a small cottage on the beach just south of Sturgeon Bay. It was a wonderful escape from the ordinary.

There is a sandy beach on the property, so we set up our camping chairs each day and soaked it all in. The water is very shallow for hundreds of feet out giving the boys a large area to play. The dogs liked it too.

We had no idea that Tatum could swim prior to this trip. I wouldn't call him a water dog, by any means, but with some serious coaxing, he waded out further than he could touch and swam back to safe ground. That was really fun for us. Not sure he'd say the same.

There was a small sail boat we took out. Here are Chris, Lucian and Spencer leaving the shore.

When we weren't sailing, the boys loved playing with the boat. Seriously this lasted hours and hours.

Chris' dogs love to retrieve. We all took turns throwing tennis balls for them.

Tatum, however, never went after a ball.
