Today we returned home from a week of camping at North Higgins Lake State Park. My Dad let us use his boat for the week so we had lots of fun going for boat rides, tubing and skiing. We had some rain the first two nights but had several days of beautiful weather. It was nice camping close to home.

We had lots of fun swimming, hiking, running on the dunes and when it rained on Thursday morning we headed to Kalamazoo to visit the Air Zoo. We even got to see several of our family members who live in West Michigan on Friday evening. We had a great week.

When Kevin and Taylor were younger they enjoyed camping out in the backyard in it. Luke and Jacob decided they’d like to give it a try so they set it up and slept in it last night. Even though it got a bit chilly overnight, they assured me they stayed warm. They had pads and sleeping bags and extra blankets.
