No time for a full post, but here are a couple of pictures to tide you over. During our Memorial Day trip to Evanston, we took an after-dinner trip to the beach. We avoided the crowds and the strongest sun this way. I assumed the water would be icy (childhood memories of leg-numbing waters) but it actually was tolerable to stand in. The air temp was only in the 60s so this may have contributed to the water feeling warmer. Still didn't think I'd want to fully submerge as others were doing. The boys didn't let their lack of swimsuits deter them. Slowly, slowly that waterline crept up their shorts. They had an absolute blast.
