After that we came back and got ready to go back up north. Brett found the wind to be blowing way up in Leelanau State Park.
SO, we drove all the way to the tip of the peninsula and found a big storm rolling in and a rocky and weedy lakeshore. NOT good for kiting at all!!!! The storm was so strong over the water that the islands were invisible covered by the dark rain.

We sat down to eat some lunch and the dark clouds were coming closer. The rain never actually hit us, but we drove south just to be sure. Dark clouds were all around, so we went all the way back to our TC park.
There was a great site unfolding as we watched the North get drenched and hit with awesome bolts of lightning. We sat on the beach watching and monitoring lighting. E was playing in the water, so Brett was making sure she stayed out when the storm was rolling thru.

WE also saw two para-sailers get lifted up for a ride. The winds picked up so strong that the boat just stopped. The lightning was still cracking just behind them and watching this go on was a bit horrifying. As they crossed the middle of the bay the boat started to pull them in. THANK GOODNESS!!!

We were finishing up there and Brett decided he really wanted to visit the Right Brain Brewery. E was NOT as excited. I chased her around the hallways while Brett tasted a couple brews.
At the 40 we snacked on egg sandwiches and fruit. We were going to have a small bon fire, but the bugs were swarming! So we shut it down and headed in for bed.
