On Sunday, the weather was still dry but a bit overcast. We were happy to be rid of some of the big mud pools around our campsite! We had a big breakfast before heading to
Mackinaw City Bible Church. We played a little Dutch Bingo with some people in the congregation and the kids always like checking out the nurseries and kid programs at other churches.
Then after church we hit the beach!
Here's our little family: ready to grow by two more feet next spring!
These two kids loved splashing in the shallow bay right by our campsite!
On Monday, Labor Day, we had planned on doing the Bridge Walk. We didn't do it the previous year because I was 7 months pregnant. However, when we woke up so very early to get ready and catch the shuttles and it was dark and cold and rainy and windy... I chickened out thinking about pushing my "babies" so high up in the air in that cold, windy, wet weather! So we did the next best thing: we slept in and then drove the bridge. It was a slow procession following all the shuttling school buses but we all were able to watch all the people walking it (yes, they looked cold!). I even spotted some neighbors of mine from South Olive in the crowd.
Both kids enjoyed the hiking we did there (the rain stopped here and there). Yep, they both slept the whole time our carriers.
But they woke up to at the end to see the waterfalls!
On Tuesday, we hit up the Wilderness State Park General Store for more donuts before packing up.
Do you think she loves these fresh little donuts or what? Well, the frosting anyway... the driver and his navigator ate a few donut "bottoms" that weekend. Ahem.
We took the scenic drive along the north shore through Petoskey and Traverse City on the way home. We even went up to Mission Point and stopped along the shore to check out a few State Parks we'd never seen. Nobody was in a hurry to get home.
