Pictured Rocks hiking

WARNING:

There will be a lot of photos.

In da U.P. we played outside a lot.

Mex, Jenx, Jax and I pretty much moved at the same speed,

taking a photo here and there.

But Shax was a bit faster.

(She didn't take the pictures her dad asked for.)

 So, here we are, with me behind the camera--

and Shax way out in front.

 First stop was a pretty waterfall.

"ooooooohhhhh!"

 Second stop was a nice lighthouse.

"ahhhhh!"

We chose to ignore the warning signs about the

vast quantities of biting flies on this hike.

We may have regretted this.

But we sallied on.

The beach was rocky and sandy in turns.

Some of these rocks are agates. 

They were really pretty.

"eeeeee!" 

 Shax walked so fast

she got to sit amist the stream and wait

for the rest of us for a good long while.

But the middle of the stream deterred the flies.

So it was all fine with her.

 Next stop was a pretty overlook.

We were amazed by the water color.

 I thought it looked like the Caribbean,

so I tried to jump in.

And they all laughed at me.

Thanks for making this a fabulous trip, ladies!
