Minus Levi, Jesse, and Jacob who were working and/or studying, we loaded up in Big White on Friday morning and headed north for a long weekend in Michigan.
First off, a delicious picnic lunch when we got to the park - - -
on a beautiful day at a beautiful location.
Then some time at Lake Michigan.
There was a really brisk (interpret: COLD) breeze in spite of the beautiful sun and blue sky, but a few wet shoes soon convinced us to take shoes off - - - and then we found out the dry sand was wonderfully warm. (Although the water was definitely NOT.)
Next, a trek to the famed dunes.
Which was very much fun,
although very strenuous!! Especially as we got closer to the top, it was really steep, and walking in the sand was incredibly hard on the legs!
At the top. Over the bluff was an even steeper slope which afforded great entertainment for the kids (and Dad & I as we watched).
Another nice tourist took this for us.
Best part: running down!!
The park wasn’t officially open for the year yet, and it was evident that they had some work to do before they were ready for the public. Sand was piled against the buildings like snowdrifts.
More time to enjoy the beach.
Lots of smiles.
And another trek to the top of the dune (kids only this time!), and another great run down!!!
Maintenance vehicles!
How To Dry Wet Jeans While You’re Driving.
It worked great!
We got to Jason & Carrie’s about 9ish which meant the kids could play for awhile and we adults could talk awhile, which they did and we did and we thoroughly enjoyed it!
