We left Wednesday Morning (8/13) to go camping. I couldn’t believe how full our truck was! I had to have the dog sit between my feet because there wasn’t room in the back for the Kennel. Good thing we took her to my parent’s instead of camping with us!

We arrived (after a few stops here and there for food and to go potty…we had 6 children with us!) and started putting up all the tents. The family we went with had 1 tent, we had 2 plus a screen tent thingy (yep, I don’t know the correct terminology for things…so I make up words that work!). After we got all that done, we all just sort of hung out around the campfire that day.

Thursday, we went to the beach (we were on Lake Michigan). We all had a blast! We went in the morning (before lunch) and there wasn’t many people there…by the time we were ready to leave, everyone was there…including the Nuns (LOL).

I enjoyed watching the boys (and girls, since the other family had 2 girls) playing in the water.

I also enjoyed watching the seaguls…can you believe how close they would get?

This one even walked all over our stuff. I guess it’s not good to have food almost open when they are around!

Friday morning, the guys went and climbed the dunes…I didn’t go, I was afraid they would have made me try and climb that hill…I didn’t want to exert that much energy! I was on vacation…you don’t exert energy on vacation!

Friday night, Daniel had gotten sick, so Kevin stayed back at the camp site with him, everyone else went to the beach to watch the sunset.

I love taking photos like that! Michael and Noah had saw some photos that someone emailed me a few months ago where it looked like they were holding the sun, so they decided they wanted photos like that…here’s how those came out

Here are some more photos of the sunset.

And this one is by far my favorite photo of all! Andrew refused to look at me!

On Saturday, Heather and I went to Tabor Hills for a wine tasting.

We had a lot of fun…let’s face it, anytime I’m without my children, it’s a lot of fun…but add a little wine and it’s a great time! LOL

I had no clue there were vineyards in Michigan…I guess you learn something new every day right?

On Sunday and headed back home. It was so much fun, we will probably make another trip back there!

Oh and in case you were wondering where exactly we went? That’s my secret, I’m not sharing! We went to Warren Dunes State Park in Michigan.
