a weekend away

this past weekend we went camping at yet another fabulous spot.
see for yourself...

across from our site was a great area for the kids to play,and just beyond that you can see lake michigan.

we had lots of fun just hanging out by the water...

and taking lots & lots of pictures {obviously - ha ha}...

before we left we bought a bike attachment for ryan -

best investment ever!

we weren't slowed down by training wheels on a dirt road

and we didn't have to listen to josie & ryan fighting in the trailer.

ahhh, peace & quiet :)

our view every night...

don't be fooled -

our trip wasn't just playing in the water, biking & catching great sunsets.

oh no.

we had a skunk get into our garbage.

2 raccoons scare the skunk away and then get into our food bin.

{note to self/tim - put bin in car next time!}

we had a sick kid late at night who managed to ruin 2 sleeping bags & 1 pillow.

{yuck}

perhaps too many s'mores around the campfire??

although a certain 7 year old thinks that

it was because she was FORCED to walk so much that day.

and while she walked she turned around A LOT

and that made her really dizzy.

walking or s'mores - we'll never know...

either way it was a fun weekend up on the leelanau penninsula!
