South Haven, MI

Taylor, Trevor and I spent Thursday in South Haven with some friends. They were vacationing in a beach house for the week. We went into town to hang out on the public beach for the day and when we arrived I noticed right away a water spout (tornado on the water), well we got out of the car paid to park and got to the spot we wanted and watched this thing move across the water. It was really quite cool to watch (from a DISTANCE!), then the rain started, so we all ran to our vans! Once the rain stopped we went back down only to have another round of rain come through. Some of them stayed down under the beach umbrella and the rest of us (SMART ONES!) went back to the van to wait it out. All in all it was a GREAT day and ended up being very nice on the beach. The waves were incredible! I was glad I made the time and took the trip to hang with my friends on the beach! MY IDEA OF A PERFECT DAY!






I went up on Wednesday night and spent the night so the next morning Terri, Rhonda, Caleb and I went for a walk down the beach in front of where their house was. It was beautiful! This was before the storm!


This is the set of steps they had to take to the private beach area! THERE WERE OVER 100 OF THEM!!! AAAAAHHH!!! I did them ONCE and that was ENOUGH! They ended up finding an area down the beach a ways where they could drive to and not have to take the steps!






The first waterspout after it moved by us and was getting ready to go on land.


Our group is on that beach someplace. I was up by the lighthouse when I took this.




The goofballs who stayed under the umbrella during the second downpour.
This was the first waterspout and the boat is some type of ride you can take on Lake Michigan! LUCKY PEOPLE! LOL


Jesse, Leah, & Taylor the best of friends!
