Our Never Ending Hike

While in Ludington we took a few new hiking trails that we haven't attempted before.  It was a good thing, because had our kids been any younger I don't think we would have made it.

The loooooong hike started "early" Sunday morning (like 10am...).  We had to pack up to go home and we knew that there was rain/storms coming, so we ventured out not realizing the hike was like 4 miles and it was up and down dunes (sand, I have a love (mostly) hate relationship with sand especially in my tennis shoes).  It was a great workout, but not at all what we were expecting when we started our little journey.

Kevin pointing out the fact that we were on a dune that stood taller than the lighthouse that we could see in the distance.




How fun is this group shot!  The kids loved climbing up to find their spots.
Tyler loves to climb any and every tree.
Our trail...

We didn't make it back before the rain.  We heard the rolling thunder and then felt the cold raindrops on our heads.  We hurried as fast as we could back to the trailers to get things put away before the skies really opened up on us.  Thankfully we able to pack up, before it really started to pour.  And since we didn't have time to make lunch before we had to leave we got to stop at Big Boy!  Toni and I planned it that way :)

Blessings!!
