Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore

We were able to visit one of Michigan many treasures, the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. There is a wonderful drive, Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive, the winds it's through a portion of the park. All of the pictures are from along this drive except for the dune climb. The children had varying reactions to the dunes. DS#1 at 4 yrs had the most fun climbing up and then running down the dunes. DS#2 at 2 1/2 yrs had the most fun just playing with the sand and DD at 10 months had fun watching all the people. I enjoyed looking at the beautiful creation of God and how wonderfully diverse it is.

Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium

We were able to visit the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium in April. It is a great zoo. They have a wonderful play area for the kids to climb & slide and the sea lions are right next to that. They also have a neat play area next to the lunch area where the kids can do things like climb thru tunnels like a naked mole rat. We took so long looking at the animals & letting the kids play that we didn't get to spend much time in the aquarium but from what we saw it's a very nice one. I would recommend a visit if you get the chance. I hope to return there one day.
