Crockstar Chronicle: 78 Michigan Parks: Lake Port State Park #57

Juliet complained of some pain in her tooth, so I set up an emergency appointment for her, unfortunately it was a few weeks out. Not too long after, Grace was complaining of pain, but Juliet said her pain had resolved, so I simply switched the appointment over to Grace. A few days before the appointment, Grace said her pain had resolved, but William had a tooth that was bothering him. So, I called one more time to change the appointment over to William. Since it was due to be a short visit, Emily, Grace, Juliet, and Avia all came along so that we could go on an adventure afterward!

We made the quick walk over to Palmer Commons to drop off batteries, writing utensils, and printer ink cartridges in the recycling receptacle. We also learned that they would recycle dead cell phones! So those can now be added to our stash.

Ultimately, the dentist didn't see much, but indicated that his tooth enamel is quite thin, which we already knew, and that he would probably have these aches until he had crowns covering the teeth or implants replacing the teeth. = (

Once the appointment was over, we joined back together to head out on our adventure. After looking at the map, Avia said she was game for a six-hour thumb tour, so that we could hit four state parks!

The first stop was Lakeport State Park, which Emily had visited earlier in the summer with Abby's family.

The parking lot was a bit of a walk from the beach, and it was an overcast day, but we enjoyed walking along the beach, even if the wind was a bit chilly.

We saw a couple of groups collecting rocks from the beach, and found a few pretty ones ourselves!

Emily said that she thought the water was lower, because when they were there, the rocks were covered at the top edge of the water, but for our trip the waterline was below the rock barrier.

I found a pretty waterfall to send to Billy.

And then all the kids wanted in the picture too!

The twins found a surfboard shaped rock!

Facing south, as we were on the American side of Lake Huron.

On our way north, to the next State Park, I found my first ever fully touch screen gas pump. I didn't like it. This was on the backside, I took it while mine was pumping, so that I could show off the octane rating selection, which disappears once you start pumping.
