Camping

We finally took the camp-out for a weekend camping trip! Our destination - Harrisville, MI. The state campground (a modern one) where we decided to camp is right on Lake Huron and simply beautiful. The boys were so excited for the trip they could hardly contain themselves.

As soon as we arrived and chose our campsite, we set-up the camp-out and I took the boys to the beach while Reid started dinner over the fire. The cookstove wasn't working so he had to improvise and use the real fire.


the beach!

Fletcher decided that it would be ok to go swimming in his clothes.

I eventually convinced them to leave the beach and go back to the campsite for dinner.

The boys needed to be distracted from fire building and assistant cook duties. Coloring books were just the thing!
 
 
 

Dinner!

After dinner peek-a-boo!
