Another day trip that we took was to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. We made the trip to the northwest side of the state in the minivan caravan. Scott’s parents, his sister, Amy, and her kids and Scott’s brother and our sister-in-law, Tracy, and their kids all made the trek. We had a fun, hot day on the dunes. We ended up hiking 3.5 miles through the dunes to Lake Michigan. It was gorgeous and the water felt really good after the long, hot hike. Even though our kids have been to the Sand Dunes here in Colorado, they were really excited to get to the water and swim in the big lake. Sleeping Bear Dunes was a favorite spot of Scott and I when we were in college and it was fun to see the kids enjoy it as much as we did.
