The Brown Family: Michigan Continued...

Day 3: The kids headed out to some dunes with Dale. They had a great time; a few faceplants were proudly reported! They were poured on on their walk back along the beach. Some indoor activities (puzzles, journaling, singing, pioneer play, etc.) pretty much consumed the early afternoon. When the rain cleared, the kids went on an adventure through the woods. A definite highlight!

The kids started this puzzle before they headed to the dunes,
but didn't get far. Lots of sky and grass/bushes. Frustrating!
So, Sherry and I worked on it while they were duning.
We left a little for them....

Day 4: Boys went golfing. Girls went shopping. In the afternoon, the older boys took the younger boys on an adventure and Mackenzie treated the girls to hairdos and makeup. Then, Holden, Jared and Mackenzie prepared dinner for the kids while the adults went out to dinner. We were definitely blessed by the opportunity!

Day 5: Big Dunes!!!! More adventures with interesting discoveries!!!! Legs Inn!!!! Favorites! As the kids were exploring, they came upon deer legs and were very intrigued. Something had obviously gotten ahold of the baby deer. Holden took pics, and of course, Isaac was willing to position the parts for the pictures. Yuck! Legs Inn is the only restaurant in town but is known from afar for their authentic polish food. Fun atmosphere and yummy food. Rylie had a pb&j sandwich and Isaac had a cheeseburger but both ordered kopytka (basically polish french fries). At least the side dish was polish, I guess. After dinner, we had indoor smore's and spent some time praising and worshiping God in song. It was also the presentation of our Psalm songs (or scripture songs). We had divided into teams earlier in the week and our assignment was to put a Psalm to song. Some were completely original, others put the Psalm to a familiar tune.
