Family Vacation at Sleeping Bear Dunes

This is our third summer going up to the National Forest and Lakeshore of the Sleeping Bear Dunes. We just love it and go back every year for the last full week of June. There is so much to do. So here we have some of the highlights of the trip. Fishing, and lots of it which both kids enjoyed and I too since I was able to just relax and sit on the beach. Tubing down the Platte river, kayaking, sit by the campfire eating hobo pies and marshmallows. Of course a few trips to town for ice cream, visiting a local fish hatchery, and playing at the park. Hanging out at our campsite a little with the kids helping out doing the dishes and food prep. One memorable moment was us meeting a wonderful christian family form Iowa. We got to spend time at the beach, by the campfire one night and of course the common thread that got us together at first fishing. We hope to see them again!

Overall it was a true vacation and great family time filled with many rich memories.
