Before we went to the baseball game in Traverse City, we had a picnic at a park along the Bay. The kids had fun jumping into the sand while Kevin was grilling our supper.

While we were on vacation, we went to a Traverse City Beach Bums baseball game. We enjoyed watching the game and seeing them win. We also enjoy playing games while we camp.

We enjoyed having our bikes with us while we camped. The kids really enjoy riding around the campground. The park had a nice basketball court where Kevin and the kids enjoyed shooting some hoops.

The kids had fun on our vacation at the camp playground and a couple of parks we visited in Boyne City.

The first evening we camped, we drove to Charlevoix and everyone was happy when Kevin pulled into the local DQ. Even though it was a little bit cool, the cold blizzards were a hit!

We had lots of fun camping this week at Young State Park in Boyne City. It’s a really nice state park and we’d like to go there again sometime. The weather was great and we didn’t get rained out like we did in July on our camping trip. I’ll be posting more highlights later of the fun we had on vacation.

Setting up camp

It was 36 degrees this morning when I left for my walk. That’s too cold for August. Zachary and Josiah walked with me. Josiah said his eyes were cold so he put on his sunglasses.

It’s been good getting back into my exercise routine this week. Last week was busy with VBS and I didn’t get as much exercise as usual.

Josiah rode his bike on the trail with Luke, Jacob and me for the first time. He’s been asking to do that and was happy to finally get to do it. He got a new helmet and bike for his birthday so he was anxious to ride this morning.
