Lake Michigan Winter Hike

This morning we went to Rosy Mounds, a county park by between Holland and Grand Haven. The hike is only two miles, but the added ice and snow on the steps up and down the sand dunes made it extra adventurous. Lake Michigan sometimes freezes on the Michigan side, creating mountains of ice from the waves tumbling over the already formed ice. Along the shore was a section that melts during warm days, and Ezra was eager to see how close he could get with his boots before we yanked him back. We left with only one wet boot. It was 15 degrees along the lake this morning, but the wind was what made things uncomfortable. The sun was a beautiful change of scenery for us.
