Saturday morning, we gave the kids the choice... Point Betsie Lighthouse or Sleeping Bear Dunes. A clear decision couldn't be reached, so we decided to try to do both. But instead of going to the Dune Climb, we would try one of the trails instead, especially since the trail we picked had a path to the beach.
We started out at the lighthouse...
I'm probably going to overload you with lighthouse photos... but it was just such a beautifully restored lighthouse and it was an absolutely beautiful day as well...
Jeff and the kids, outside as we waited our turn to climb up into the lighthouse...

The stairs up...
The kids listening to the volunteer at the top...
The view of Lake Michigan...
Tired of lighthouse photos yet? :-)
I made the kids pose for a photo...
and they actually cooperated!
Last one... I promise...
From there, we drove over to the trailhead and had a picnic lunch.
Then we went on a one mile hike through the woods...
It was very pretty and peaceful...
We finally made our way out of the woods and onto the dunes..
Further to go then we thought! Plus walking up and down sand dunes is tough!
But we made it and, if you ask the kids, it was well worth the effort!
There were great waves to play in...
And thankfully... the walk back seemed much shorter than the walk out there!
