The Sand Dunes

On Monday we went on the Mac Woods Dune Ride...we did this two years ago, but Kayleigh slept through the whole thing! Both girls had a blast this year.





They drive you out to Lake Michigan







One of our favorite things to do in the Silver Lake area is walk and climb the sand dunes. It's impossible to capture the grandeur of the dunes with a camera, but it is so beautiful. We decided to explore a new part of the sand dunes this time...the dunes that lead down to Silver Lake. If you want to see last summer's pictures, go here...







This is the tallest sand dune...


This lake off to the left is Silver Lake. Lake Michigan is a 1 1/2 mile walk across the sand dunes to the west. We walked to it last October.


And here the girls are standing in Silver Lake. Because the sand dunes shift each year, this is now the middle of the lake and the deepest part. There is a small shallow area, but then it gets really deep, really fast.
