A couple of weeks ago we took the kids up to Silver Lake. When we crested the hill and could see the dunes for the first time, Hannah gasped and said, "Look, the desert!"
We were planning to take the boat out, but since it was so rough and busy we decided to stay at the State Park.
For as beautiful as the sand is on the other side of the lake, the beach at the park was not the best.
So we packed up and went on a Mac Woods dune ride instead. We did this with Hannah when she was a toddler, but she was too young to remember. This was Jack's first dune ride, and he had a blast!
Because there was an endangered bird with freshly hatched chicks on the Lake Michigan shore, we had to skip the shoreline part of the tour but instead we got to get out at the top of the dune overlooking Silver Lake.
A perfect day at the dunes!
