To celebrate Suzanne's birthday, we took the kids camping at Tahquemanon Falls. It was a cool August weekend, but great for camping! We visited lower falls the first day, opting not to take them on the 4 mile (one-way) rugged hike to upper falls.
We did, however, take what we thought was a short hike through the woods, which ended up being a bit over 2 miles. The kids enjoyed their "walk in the woods", which encouraged us that they might like some short backpacking trips next summer.
We visited upper falls the second day, which was quite impressive.
We even made the trip down to see the gorge from river level.
The kids had no problem making the trek back up the steps!
We stopped at Oswald's Bear Ranch just north of Newberry on our way home and were able to pet the baby bear (who was eating Fruit Loops, by the way) and see a number of grown bears (through both chain link and electric fence protection).
Once home we enjoyed cupcakes and Suzanne got to open some great gifts (including homemade cards from the kids)!
