The weather has definitely gotten colder here in Michigan, this is usually the time for me to pull out all the photos of us spending time in the summer under the sun together.
Grand Mere State Park located in Stevensville, Michigan is a beautiful, natural woods and sand dunes.This is one of the park that we have checked out in the summer when it’s nice out. Victor and I are very outdoorsy people, we spent a lot of our time outdoor in the summer. We love to walk around the beach, hiking, spend time at the park, etc. The one thing we do not love about the summer are the BUGS. Just thinking about all the bugs makes my skin crawl. Some of you might be able to relate to that, we do not do good with bugs, they are attracted to us for whatever reason.
Another reason why we like outdoorsy stuff is because as I mentioned before, we have a puppy that needs a tons of exercise. We are a family of three, we would spend a lot of time together in the weekends outdoor. The reason being we do not get to spend a lot time with him during the weekdays because of work. The easiest thing to incorporate him into our daily activities would be outdoor.
It was a very very long walk for the three of us. The uphills were definitely challenging, especially when you have a puppy with you. Having a puppy is like having a little baby with you. You are constantly worrying that the weather might be to hot for them, are they thirsty and overheated, etc. As soon as we hit the beach, everything was pretty nice, except when we realized we forgot the sunscreen.
This park is definitely worth the hike, the walk was great, and it’s pet friendly. If you are around that area I would definitely recommend this park for a one day outing with your family. We enjoyed the entire hiking process a lot, the struggles are definitely real but in the end, we spent a day together. That’s all that matters.
