Michigan Vacation Days 3-4

Dear Baby Bird,

Yesterday we spent most of the day travelling up to Empire, MI.

We had to make a stop to get you eyedrops for pinkeye, so that was a bummer, but you've been a really good sport about it all.

We had dinner last night with our neighbors, you were excited to see familiar faces.

We had breakfast in our room, and Brother showed off his wiggly tooth.

 

Then off to the beach for hiking and playing in the sand!

 

We stopped at the grocery store to pick up some goodies for lunch.

While you napped, Dad and Brother went kayaking on a local river. Then it was time for ice cream.

You hit your eye on the headboard of the bed, and that combined with the pinkeye really made you look sad. But you were in great spirits!

Before dinner, we decided to explore the Scenic Drive in Sleeping Bear Dunes. We took a family photo by the covered bridge.

Then Dad took a test shot before Brother took this photo of Mom and Dad.

 

This is where Brother had to sit to get the photo! Silly Brother.

 

We had some great views during the drive.

 Dad didn't want to get any closer to the edge... behind us was a steep sand dune. We ventured a little higher to enjoy the view, without Dad or the camera.

 

Then we headed into town for a delicious dinner, followed by (of course), ice cream

Finally, we headed to climb the Sand Dune. You and brother loved the smooth sand!

You didn't love it so much when you took a face-plant and got it in your mouth.

We had a great day together!

Love,
Mom
