Memory for August 2, 2010

Woke up today and it was raining.  AGH!  It can't rain on our trip when the weather was suppose to be sunny and hot.  We decide to be optimistic and got our picnic lunch together and headed out.  We went driving around and did some wine tasting.  Well at least Trevor and I did.  The girls just tagged along for that part.  

We also stopped and got some cherries and blueberries from a roadside stand.  Mmmmmm... they were tart cherries and Ariana and I looooooved them.  Julia thought they were too sour so she eat most of the blueberries.  The sun did finally come out so we had a picnic lunch in Traverse then headed out to the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes.  While we were there, surprise... we climbed the dunes.  When we were running down one Ariana face planted into the sand.  She thought it was funny.

After that we drove around and ended up in Leland.  The fireman there had their trucks out and were letting kids spray the hoses into the river.  Both Julia and Ariana got to spray the hoses.  That was a nice surprise for the trip. 

I guess for a day that started out rainy, it turned out nice in the end.  Did I mention lately that I LOVE summer? :)
