Dune Buggies and Blueberries

09 August 2007 | Saugatuck, MI

This morning we all slept in until 9am. The kids enjoyed their special delivery from The Donutman. We swam in the marina's pool then went for a dunebuggy ride. The 35 minute ride took us up and down the dunes just north of town. The kids really enjoyed the fast-paced ride which was almost like a roller coaster.

Then we went to Krupka's to pick blueberries. The bushes were loaded and in 30 minutes we had picked 19 lbs. The kids really got into picking... and eating their fill of the berries.

After a hot day of picking berries, we spent the afternoon at the pool, then drove up to Holland. Downtown Holland was a bustle of activity as the town had organized an evening for street performers to do their thing. As we walked the sidewalks, we witnessed everything from flame eaters to belly dancers to mimes and vocalists. It was all very entertaining. We had dinner at a really neat Irish pub and we all pretended that were vacationing in Ireland.
