So with not a lot of time, after he had played on his computer for a time we asked if he wanted to go for a drive. That's what we did. We took him to Suttons Bay. There is a shop there called Enerdyne.
We like to go there because they have unusual things. They have science stuff, some toys, rocks, puzzles and other fun stuff. He bought two planes and some other things. So when we went down by the water he took them with him and met some little kid. He always does. They played for awhile and then we headed off towards Empire.
This tree was in bloom and very pretty.
The little stream that runs by near Enerdyne was not resistable I guess because he got right in, shoes an all.
Started to get hungry at this point. These pretty Daffs growing by the water
Off we went with the intention of going to the play area in Empire but Tristen wanted to climb the dunes. Well it's about half the size it used to be now. Still a good climb and it tires the kids out haha. It was on the way.
Running back down without falling is a challenge
We decided to eat first. Kids hate to wait so I gave Tristen a handfull of quarters.
When we were done we took Tristen to the play area and I walked around taking pictures.
South Bar Lake
The May Flies were out, at least I think thats what they were.
There were too many to walk on the beach and he was not happy about playing but when some kids showed up off he went.
It would have been a lovely evening if it were not for the bugs.
On the way home we saw several deer by the road, almost upon them before we saw them.
We went home and watched a movie and it was nice. I went to bed a little later than Tristen did and went in to kiss him goodnight. I could not find the little bugger. Turned out he was under the covers and half way down the bed.

Lovely blog Janice. Tristan looks quite tall. So it seems you all had a great time. I bet you are sad to see him go back. I'm pleased he has settled and he is smiling in the photos.
Tristen looks so happy, he really does enjoy his visits with you, and
it shows.
You have a huge heart Janice, you remind me so much of my own grandma, she was always ready to jump on a bus, and head out for the day, most of my memories are of the two of us, off exploring and stopping by a nice little café for afternoon tea.
Beautiful pictures, thank you for taking us along...
Hugs,
