We took a road trip to Door County today! After breakfast at Mel's Place in Sturgeon Bay, we headed north to Cave Point County Park! The beach was literally piled with ice flows so high that we estimated we were standing about 8 feet above where the beach was last year! The boys loved it, and ran around climbing on ice and rocks for quite awhile! This is my favorite place to go in the winter, and I'm so glad that the boys enjoy it, too.
Liam lost his other front tooth when we got back to the car!
Ducks float on an icy lake!
Waves crash into this cove in the summer and carve out "caves"...that are filled with ice and snow for now.
I've never seen the ice formations so dynamic and detailed here.
There are usually some amazing sculptures, but this winter seemed to create a new form everywhere we looked!
Max would run to the top of an "ice mountain" and yell, "Mom! You have to SEE this!"
He was quite fearless with all of his climbing around! While I tried to keep up with him, Liam roamed around with Aaron, out of camera range!
Instead of flat sheets of ice, there were huge piles of perfectly clear ice shards. They were so beautiful, especially when the sun caught just right.
We visited our favorite bookstore, "Novel Ideas", in Baileys Harbor and stopped at "Made in Britain" on our way back south. Our last stop was the Door County Confectionery, where the boys each filled a bag with pick-a-mix candy before we headed home. We had such a great time together! Can't wait to do it again, soon!
