July 9, 2026 Ohio and Michigan Part 4

 Today we moved west a bit and visited Petoskey State Park.  It is a beautiful state park on Lake Michigan.  Also this location is known for Petoskey stones.  Those stones are unique fossilized coral rocks.  We did not find any, but we did find a lot of pretty rocks.

Here everyone is looking for pretty stones.
Showing off their finds.
Next we went to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park.  Here the kids are at the bottom of the small dunes.
And here they are after running up to the top of the first rise of the small dunes.
They ran up, they ran down, and had a blast on the dunes.  This was not what we expected to see in Michigan but it was a wonderful surprise!
And since it also is a National Park they got sworn in and got their junior ranger badge.
