Kim/Eric-we all had a wonderful time staying at Bluewater-and would highly recommend it to others. Although many locals complained about the coolish weather, all of us were coming from much hotter climes and actually preferred the cooler temps. A highlight for me was body surfing on Wednesday afternoon in the biggest waves I have ever been in on Lake MI...(and I've been in them almost every summer for the past 60 years!!!) We put out the Hummingbird feeder and Faire (the 2 year old) got to see several (or the same one several times). She also fell quite in love with the yellow "turtle" drive slow people-she fed them acorns!!! . . . You might also be interested in this: All the relatives and my son's best friend from when he was 2 (and his girlfriend) kind of showed up unannounced at the cottage late Friday afternoon. It turned into an impromptu cookout for 20 people (well, 3 were babies) after a quick drive to the grocery store ...and the cottage held us all quite well..some inside, some down below, some out by the grill, some on the bench outside the kitchen door...you can probably imagine. One of the primo times of my life, and my son kicked me off the grill!!! I wish I were still there! Best, [from a renter July 2009]
