Tahquamenon Falls State Park

We drove from Munising to Tahquamenon Falls State Park on September 28.  There was a miscommunication on which campground we were staying at and which way I should have driven.  Those in the van with me made only a slight detour.  It worked out well because we found a grocery store and stocked up on hot dogs and marshmallows.

 Twins will be twins.  We got quite a kick out of them.  This happened more than once during the trip.  

 Our home for a few days.

Jimmer did well with this campsite.  We found out that he doesn't like the sound of waves crashing.  He was happy to be in the woods again!

The actual "rivermouth" by the campground.

Munising Falls and Wagner Falls

On our way out of Munising we stopped at two different waterfalls. These were smaller ones, but still had the beauty of all the other waterfalls.  Both falls were on that postcard I was trying to "completely" see.

 Wagner Falls had a secondary smaller falls just to the right of the main one.

Gianna was convinced this was snow.  I have to admit my first thought was snow too - but it was still in the 70's....hummm.  Oh, yah, it is foam from the water rushing.

This tiny falls was a random one we drove by so we took a picture of it.  It was a falls kind of day.

Miners Falls

Just down the road from the shoreline is Miners Falls.  We didn't know what to expect other than the picture we saw on a postcard we had already bought.  This postcard had the two falls we had seen on September 24 and four others. You are probably not surprised at all to find out that I looked up where they were AND we made short side trips to see them.  This was one of those already sort of planned but kind of side trip stops.

 Something stinks around here!

 Our little woodland greeter who welcomed us to the park.  I think either Stephen or Rex saw him first.

Gianna loved this tree. 

 The beautiful Miners Falls!!

 I gotta jump, Blase!

A number 4 in a tree?  These kids spot the coolest things! 

Pictured Rocks and Miners Castle

We went exploring....

One of the main attractions that Munising has to offer is Pictured Rocks and Miners Castle.  Two very beautiful sites along the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.  The Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore covers over 40 miles of Lake Superior's shore.  We only saw a bit - literally - through the trees.  We have been to Miners Castle before and loved it.  The older kids vaguely remember visiting it.  This is one of my favorite pictures!  Everyone likes a good butt shot, right??

 

 What great brothers Brigid has!
