Camping at Tahquamenon State Park - Part 2
Sunday – Aug 12th
This morning was a relaxing one. The kids played around the site and at the playground and I got to read for a while. We fed some of the chipmunks and they even ate right out of Hailee’s hands. Shalen made friends with a boy in the lot next to us and they hung out together.
We took a trip to the lower falls after lunch and took a bunch of pictures. After seeing the falls, we hiked around for a bit. We then took a guided nature hike called “what good is wood?” We learned a lot about the local trees and the history of the logging that took place in the UP. The kids had a lot of fun and Corbin was very upset when the hike was over.
Making pizza pies over the fire was the highlight of the evening. I’ve kind of become the default “guy” who makes them, and Sheila dealt with all the “other” stuff including getting the S’more stuff ready.
We had a young couple pull in at dusk across the road from us. They had their cute little daughter with them. I could tell they were having issues getting set up and it was getting dark, so I offered to help. They were borrowing the tent and had never set it up before. It wasn’t a nice easy “pop-up” tent either. After reading and re-reading the instructions and locating some missing pieces that were hidden under the tent, we got it assembled and they were able to finish the details like staking it down the next morning.
We had heard from some others in the park that there was going to be a meteor shower tonight, so we sat and watched for it. Between
It was another fun day and of course, you can click here for the pictures.
