The Dunes

The kids and I went to Warren Dunes State Park with Aunt Maria this past weekend. We had a blast. It was beautiful! Everyone loved the beach. It was a bit of hard work climbing the dunes, but it was worth it to get to the beach. We found a mound of sand someone had created and Sara and Aunt Maria added some huge sticks to the top and made windows. We had a lot of fun. Jonas loved watching and listening to the waves and decided to take a nice long nap. Sara decided she wanted to stick her toes in the water, but after taking off her shoes and socks she decided it was too cold. Apparently, the park closes their bathrooms on the beach during off season. So, that made for an intersting adventure with a 3 year old pottier. She learned about life before toilets :) After that, we went to the woods and took a long walk. Sara collected lots of leaves, including one bigger than her head :). We stayed at a cute Bed and Breakfast in Three Oaks, MI. Aunt Maria was a great help with the kids. They loved being with her. Sara wanted her to come home with us. It was a wonderful time.
