We Came, We Saw...We Packed Up-N-Left







I had BIG plans for Ben's first camping trip! Plans that would cause him to join our camping ranks! Instead, we all went AWOL and left that campsite only hours before the fireworks were to begin. I could never fully explain that place. It was like a city unto itself. Streets upon streets of sardined, seasonal campers. Many even went so far as to build an actual cottage around the camper! It was WAY too big and crowded and busy. But, it's all I could find because of the holiday. I will have to remember to make reservation well in advance next year!



Luckily we made it home in time to see the neighborhood light up and Ben even found some great last minute fireworks deals on 8 mile to help the girls to feel better about leaving.

Mickey Mantle Who?


Recently Ben sold most of his baseball card collection to replace an old flame. It was about 11 years ago that he sold his last Mustang to make room for a new baby and now that same baby is hoping this new Mustang will be hers in a few years!

More Camping Fun







We recently went on our second camping trip to Ruby Campgrounds near Port Huron. It was an organized homeschool trip and we had a blast.



I remembered my camera this time, but misplaced it for awhile so I only got some swimming shots.



This weekend we will be going to Jackson to camp. Ben is coming this time too, so I'll try to get some more pictures.
