Last day at Silver Lake and Father's Day!

Our final day for our little beach vacation started with heading to Lake Michigan for more beach time! We found a parking lot right by the lighthouse, although we had to hike yet another sand dune to get to the beach from there!


Scott and Cara immediately headed for the water, brrrr......super cold!

The wind started to pick up and it was chilly, so Daddy and Cara snuggled under a beach towel while we waited for Grandpa and Aunt Cyndi who went to climb up the lighthouse

This is the view from our room. We had a walkout 1st floor room looking right into the beautiful Silver Lake and Sand Dunes!

Our view directly from our room
Kind of hard to see but this is the view from the rooftop pool
And the rooftop jacuzzi

So we packed up the cars and walked to some souvenir shops and found this fun go cart track! Everyone was ready to have some more fun! Cara chose Aunt Cyndi to be her driver!
In this picture you can see Aunt Cyndi with Cara, Mommy, Daddy and Grandpa!

They giggled the whole time!

The happy drivers after our laps! So much fun!!
And back to our favorite ice cream place for one last treat before our long drives home. What a fun Father's Day for Grandpa and Daddy!

We had a great little mini vacation! The weather was gorgeous, no rain, low humidity, and not too hot! The environment was super fun, so much to do. We could have easily stayed here a whole week and never get bored. And it was great to spend time with Aunt Cyndi before she heads back to Italy!
