Michigan Summer to Indian Summer

We finally made it "Up North", or so the Michiganders like to call it. We drove up to Glen Arbor to camp at Sleeping Bear Dunes with some of Liz's family. It is a beautiful place on Lake Michigan with white sand and crystal clear water. This small town explodes with people during the summer but the lake is so big there was plenty of room at the beach.






Below is a picture of our sister-in-law Chelsea out on the paddle surf board. Petey the dog waits patiently at the shore for her return.
Liz out on the board, the water was clear but cold.

The girl's school at Kingswood. We live on the 3rd floor on the left side of the chimney.
All the pictures below are of Cranbrook-Kingswood Campus where we live. It is a large campus with tons of trees that turn amazing colors during the fall.
The Kingswood Lake that separates the girl's school from the boy's side of campus. We have a view of this lake from our living room windows.
We live in the girl's dorm behind us.
