Update from the last few days

[July 20] Went to Cedar Point Amusement Park which we found very amusing. "The best roller coaster park in North America" according to Maddie. The park, located in Sandusky, OH on Lake Eerie, had the second tallest climb and drop in the world (420 ft tall, 120 mph, 17 seconds total) called Top Thrill Dragster.   http://www.youtube.com/cedarpointvideos#p/search/0/LbN3NU4hIZg
Another ride we liked was Max Air, a ride with a giant wheel with seats all around the rim, on the end of a pendulum, that swings you at 65 mph and spins above horizontal. We were there all day and had an awesome time!

[July 21] We drove to Macinaw, Michigan and stayed at Mackinaw Mill Creek Campground. The campsite was beautiful and situated right on Lake Huron. We went for a swim; the water was so clear and cool. Later Adele and Maddie went for a bath in the lake using Maddie's 100% biodegradable lavender soap.

[July 22] Went to the beach in Munising, Michigan on Lake Superior. After a swim we went exploring around the coast, wading along the edge in the surprisingly shallow water. In one cove, we found a really cool wrecked wooden boat. As of that point we had dipped our toes in 4 out of 5 of the Great Lakes. After leaving the beach, we went to see Munising Falls, taking the liberty of climbing over the barrier in order to be able to stand under the falls. We met a guy who showed us how to burn writing into driftwood with a magnifying glass.

[July 23] Today we went to Chapel Rock, part of the Pictured Rocks lakeshore on Lake Superior. We went on a long hike. The state park claimed it was 3.2 mi one way, but we think we must have walked 11 miles. We saw Chapel Rock, a separated cliff with a tree growing right in the middle of it, having reached its roots across the gaps to get to land. There was also a beautiful waterfall called chapel falls, which Adele and Maddie waded at the foot of- the water was bracing, but not unbearable.
