Chicago trip part 1 - Warren Sand Dunes and Apple Orchard


On our way to Chicago we stopped at the Warren Sand Dunes. Alex was checking out the sand between his toes!


We had a long hike ahead of us...


Come on boys....

We finally made it to Lake Michigan!

Alex did not care how cold it was!!! After our long hike it sure felt good!




Alex opted out for part of the walk back to the car!



The next day, we found an Apple Orchard outside of Chicago.

You guys sure did a lot on the week-end. By Sunday night i'm sure mama and daddy fell into the bed and went to sleep the minute your head hit the pillow. It looks like you had fun. What a wild apple orchard. A zoo and all the rest.
