The day started out dreary with clouds, wind, and even rain. Our first stop was to find a store that sold kids' sweatshirts since I forgot to pack some for the day trip. The sweatshirts were over priced but oh-so-adorable for photos! We took the van and visited Big Bay State Park. (Another park to mark off our list!) The beach was beautiful, really, there is no other way to describe it.
We took a nature hike to check out the lagoon too, which was extremely picturesque. This is on their wildlife observation deck, we didn't actually see any wildlife.
We found quite a lot of insects while walking along the beach. Max was very interested in all the bugs.
Once it really started to rain we headed back to the car. Tara and Max opted to stay in the van and out of the rain while Rory, Grandma and I ran down the Point Trail to get a quick peek before we left for lunch.
After lunch we decided to check out Big Bay Town Park. The sun had finally started to show, along with the heat. Town Park hosts the entryway for the water that leads to the lagoon that we saw at the state park. Can you see how clear and beautiful that water is?!
Max and Rory had a ton of fun trying to escape the waves along with playing in the water. It seriously sounded like we were at the ocean.
I really wish we would have had water shoes, I think we would have enjoyed it more if our feet wouldn't have been so sore walking all over those rocks! Either way, we still had a nice time at the beach!
As we headed back up the kids wanted to check out the lagoon's entrance again. And then they gave me this. Best photo of the day!
Madeline Island was really fun with the kids. There wasn't much more we could have done together as there aren't a lot of stores and shops but our two beach visits along with lunch and some quick shopping filled up our day and left everyone, except me, napping on the drive home. (I mean, I was driving...)
