South Manitou Day 2

Had a good breakfast of scrambled eggs then took off on a hike. The dads carried backpacks so the kids didn't have to carry anything. We hiked to the village, toward Weather Station Campground, then to the dunes. Gorgeous wildflowers growing on the dunes. Finally made it to Lake Michigan. Had lunch on top of the dune, then kids and dads ran down. All the kids except B "became one with the dune." Water was very cold at the bottom. Climbed back up, then continued. Saw cedars (not that impressive) and shipwreck (very impressive) where M, J & B waded in their undies.



Hiked back to camp via Schoolhouse. Figured we went around 10 miles. Had early supper of hamburgers (thanks to my bro) and hot dogs. We were all very hungry! Went to bay to wade - all the kids and my brother dunked themselves under.




Went back to camp and had lots of treats - hot chocolate, jiffy pop and smores.
