Big boats, lots o' rain & a relaxing day

The girls & I relaxed most of the day. It rained all day, which prevented us from doing anything during the day. I will say, it was nice to have a down day. We dropped Jade off this am in the Manistee National Forest so he could kayak the Pere Marquette.
Around 5ish, it cleared up and the pictures I am posting, you would think I was lying about the rain. It turned out bee-ut-iful. Jades parents arrived back in Ludington just in time to join us for Chinese food. Afterwards, we took a walk down at the municipal park. I must say, every town should have a park as nice as this one. The play structure was awesome, they had gorgeous bronze statues all over. It was right on Lake Michigan, so there were nice paths to walk, check out the boats. Our original plan was to head down there to see the Badger come in. What an amazing thing to watch. Just this summer, they declared the badger a historical marker in Michigan. If you have a chance, google it. It runs on coal right now and they are trying to pass something where it should turn into a diesel fueled engine. I guess if that happens, they would probably just retire, which is so very sad. It would cost millions of dollars and they wouldn't be able to afford to switch it over.
I should mention my hair in these pics! Remember I said, it was rainy all day. I look awful. :) hehee. And, no Jade & I did not plan the matching green striped attire. His mom & dad had a good laugh at our shirts. :)

That park was amazing! We didn't get there until sunset on Sunday, but we let the kids play for awhile until almost everyone had left and it was super dark. I decided I want to move into one of those condos right there on the water... no need for a yard when that awesome park and Lake MI is right there, right?!?!
