We had been to Sleeping Bear Dunes a year ago, but apparently we didn't learn our lesson, because we volunteered to go again with Aunt Gwen, Jonan, and Ava!
Cousins goofing off before getting SUGARY doughnuts
Convenient stop in Clare on the way to the dunes - a Michigan icon
Some of their shirts for sale
Just look at these criminals!!!
A little reward for making it to the top of the first huge hill - turn around, and there's a beautiful view of Glen Lake. Too bad there are LOTS more dunes to make it over before reaching Lake Michigan!
Ava and Lydia made it look easy
One of the few spots of shade along the way
That's Jonan and Ava way down there...
steep climbs, cousins at the bottom
That's Aunt Gwen way up there...
M& L and the cottonwood tree
The best reward - Lake Michigan on the other side of the dunes!
What an amazing day! So glad we went back, but I don't think we will go again any time soon!
