Beach Bunnies

This little bunny went to the beach and sat on her chair.
This little bunny went to the beach and laid on her blanket.
But this little bunny went to the beach and sat in her chair AND laid on her towel.

This little bunny went to the water, stuck her toes in and cried too, too, too cold all the way back to her seat.
This little bunny went to the water, stuck her toes in and went up to her ankles and cried too, too, too cold all the way back to her blanket.
But this little bunny went to the water and kept walking out farther and farther and farther until finally the waves splashed so high that she dunked right in and then after a while she went back to her towel and said whee, whee, whee, that was delightful!

Now which bunny was which...do you know?

The girls would kill me if they knew this picture was posted, but the other pictures were even worse. Today was the day...the girls went to the beach. The day was perfect. The temp was ideal, not too hot, a little breeze, no bugs, the water was crystal clear and it wasn't crowded.
The only problem was that the water was freezing which was sad because last week it was delightfully warm. After quite a few over night rains and cooler temps the water temp went back to those typical of May or early June. I knew it had to be bad because as soon as we got there I immediately noticed that NO ONE was in the water. There weren't even very many near the water's edge. I mean seriously, maybe two people were playing along the edge.
For the day after the 4th of July this was abnormal for Lake Michigan. After being there about an hour, and being a participant of the early morning dip club for many years, I was undaunted by the water's frigid challenge. I was determined to get my Lake Michigan swim-fix. As I walked to the shore I looked around and once again noticed that NO ONE was in the water - "Jaws" flashed through my mind. Naw...not possible...I glanced down through the crystal clear water just to make sure. I walked further and further. I checked my legs to see if they had turned red. No, it was safe to proceed...I could do this. I think this particular dunk may have taken me 15 to 20 minutes. When I finally did immerse myself, I realized that my feet were numb. I went under again just to enjoy the sensation of all that coolness. It almost took my breath away. Slowly I returned to my place on the sand...totally happy with the feeling of accomplishment.
The three of us continued our conversations. A short while later I looked out at the water and noticed to my surprise it was full of people! I guess it just took one brave soul to lead the way. Funny thing was that later this afternoon I went in one more time before we left and the very same thing happened again. I was the only one in the water and then after I got out...everyone else got in.
Hey...you don't think...naw....
