Bigger Than Big

There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.

Mr. Cottage and I drove to Grand Haven today to deliver our first Christmas gift, only because it was bigger than big.  Seriously, if you didn't have a truck, I really don't know how you would be able to get this home...

It literally went from the inside tire of the truck bed across to the other side...

But we got it delivered to their house...

Inside the box is the Little Tike's Endless Adventure, shown below.  Corbin is going to love this...

 

 

Mr. Cottage with Corbin...

 

Last time I was in Grand Haven, this is the photo I took from their living room window.  The hill is actually a sand dune by Lake Michigan...

This is the same view today and if you look really close on the top of the sand dune, you'll see a house that overlooks Lake Michigan...

Here it is up close...

And my favorite route going back home via Lake Michigan.  This was on my last visit with high winds and waves...

And today, a much calmer lake...

At this point, we won't be going back to Grand Haven until we return in the spring; but at least most of our family will be at our house for Thanksgiving.
