Wrapping the Tawas Trip Up

The beach at Sturgeon Point was all rocks.  We were told that if we went out on the beach we could find Petoskey stones and that semi-precious stones could even be found there too.

We did end up finding some very small Petoskey stones, but my boys had much more fun learning the art of Rock Skipping.

I don't remember where we were but I remember my parents taking us kids out to a beach and showing us how to skip rocks.  They showed us what rocks were good skipping rocks, how to hold them, and then how to throw them.  I remember my Mom getting the record for how many times a rock skipped.  It is one of those vital lessons that must be past down through the ages.

So... here are the boys learning their new skill.

  Jilli on the other hand was much more interested in looking for pretty rocks that she could take home... she is such a little pack rat.

 Well... that's it, the last of my pictures from this trip.  This is definitely a place we would love to go back too, but probably not for a while since we need to knock off some other State Parks from our list.

Have a Great Day!
