Here is Munising Falls, where we met our friend's mom, Kathleen, who lives in the area. It was fun to meet her as she is one of the people who has prayed fervently for our family thru all of the difficult times we have endured. Journey liked holding her hand. Kathleen gave us the scoop on where to go and what to see.
The gorgeous green hike to Miners Falls.
On our hike Daddy found this teeny, tiny toad and Journey held it for quite some time. It's about the size of my pinky nail!
Wagner Falls
Found another frog here.
Our favorite hike was Memorial Falls. The waterfall was beautiful
and poured down into this sandy cave. The kids loved it!
This is the Sand Point Marsh trail where we found.....
...a SNAKE! Asher was so excited!
Then across the parking lot to Sand Point Beach.
We ended up staying an extra day and spent it by returning to our favorite places. Well we had planned to go back to Memorial Falls, but hiked from the bottom instead of the top, and ended up at the different but equally impressive, Tannery Falls. The kids and Asa played in the water and sand before heading back to Sand Point beach to, well, play in water and sand some more.
At the end of the beach we found layers of reddish/purplish sand
and also black sand in some areas from the minerals. It's pretty interesting.
This is the typical sight driving thru the UP, just thick, tall, green trees on both sides and nothing else.
We were fortunate enough to see some fall colors, but I'd love to see it when all the leaves are changing colors.
