Day 4

Today (after our usual 7 AM wake up) we did the Wolf walk (with Wiley the Wolf) through the lobby and made origami wolves.  Then we drove back to Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes and rode our bikes to the small village of Glen Haven.  We saw several old rescue boats, a former coast guard station, a blacksmith, and a general store.  The blacksmith made Michael a little hook to take home.  We had a picnic lunch by Lake Michigan.  Michael and a seagull battled - Michael would try to chase him away but he would keep coming back.  Ryan decided he wanted to go into the lake, so we let them both walk in the water a little past their ankles.  They both had fun throwing rocks into the water.  The water was remarkably  clear.  Of course, the morning plans took longer than expected so Ryan fell asleep on the return bike ride and car ride.  We decided to stop at Moomers for ice cream and then a winery to sample some local wines.  When we returned to the hotel.  We did bowling at the Ten Paw Lanes and painted banks at the Cub Club.  We ate dinner at the Camp Critter restaurant in the hotel.  Afterwards, I went shopping and Ian took the boys to the arcade and story time - this night with Oliver the raccoon.
