Aunt Barbara's beach

Last night we celebrated Kris' birthday with pizza and cake (and lots of JONQUE that Grandpa Livo brought for the kids - yeah, right, JUST for the kids!) on the Michigan lake shore at what we call "Aunt Barbara's beach." Mike's Aunt Barbara owns a home almost on the beach - about 400 feet from it! So, the Livo gang goes quite often to enjoy their own private beach!

Carrot cake lovingly made by Mike, Elia, Josie, Mikey and Del.

Frosting? Well, Kris made that! Even frosted her own cake!!

Twas yummy!

 

There's Chicago! The sunset was incredible (I mean, aren't ALL sunsets incredible??)

I asked Mikey if this was a volcano and his answer? "It's Mount Fuji." 

Of course, I should have known that!!

Actually, my first thought was "Pococatepetl" in Mexico.

But Mikey is more familiar with the one in Japan (thanks to his great home school teacher!!)

- go figure!!
