I was watching the radar yesterday and thought about your party. Your weather usually makes it over the lake and dumps on west Michigan.

We really lucked out! It is a BEAUTIFUL State Park and we had the shelter at the beach, so the kids were thrilled. Beau got to use his Park Sticker which he gets with his Conservation hunting License (ironic!) so we got in for free - always a bonus.

We had a breeze all day - sometimes QUITE a breeze, but that kept the temp down, less humidity and no flies at the picnic. Win/Win! :)

Another interesting tidbit: Beau's Grandparents (on his Mom's side) once owned some of the property that Governor Dodge State Park swallowed up. We drove around and saw the old Barn that they've left standing that was where his Grandparents first farmed after they married.

Here's where we were, yesterday:
