Michigan Camping


Waiting for daddy to set up the tent (mostly getting out of his way), we headed to the beach!

Eli loved the shallow pools of water along the beach better than the waves coming in off of Lake Michigan.

Can't wait to get started on sand castles!

Enjoying our morning in the tent together!

Lighthouse at White Lake and Lake Michigan.

The beach on lake Michigan where the canal comes out from White lake.

A little Putt Putt at Silver Lake. They all cheated, they just didn't know any better and we just wanted to have fun and not hold people up behind us.

Go cart racing!

Then Daisy decided she wanted a go at it, she loved it!

Silver Lake Sand Dunes, more like Desert!

Watching the Dune Buggies coming over the hill.

The boy loves to just lay down in the sand. Look at all the sand on his face. Didn't bother him a bit.

Light house at Silver Lake and Lake Michigan.

Eli got a new camp chair.

There he goes laying in the sand again!

Well, it started raining Wednesday evening and did not stop. So we got a movie! A huge glob was over us and we decided to leave early Friday morning and it continued to rain, even in Williamston until Saturday afternoon. The tent was so soaked and everything in it we just couldn't do it any more so we stayed in a hotel, visited family a bit and left a day early. We missed the actual "reunion" on Sunday, but we got to see lots of family that came to camp and hang out over the weekend.

Cousin Scotty had a nice garage for everyone to hang out and play, a foosball table, a pool table, lots of tables for eating and socializing, tvs and Karaoke. No, we did not do Karaoke! This is Cousin Scott playing with Jacob.

The tractor train! The kids all had a good time riding the tractor train around the field as the adults took turns driving them.
