Over Memorial Day Weekend this year, we took a camping trip to Cold Brooke, MI, with our neighbors, the Spence Family. It was our first camping trip with another family, and our first camping trip as a family of five! Lots and lots of fun!!
The Highlights:
Watching all the kids try to catch bugs.
Hiking (through the poison ivy) with all the children :)
Canoeing with five little kids in the middle of a canoe....especially when the Mommies decided to canoe the kids back across the lake, and got waked by a fishing boat...eek!
Sitting in the shower with five children when the tornado warning sirens went off....okay, maybe not a highlight :) but definitely a memorable moment.

We had so much fun, and can't wait to go camping again. This time, maybe without the tornado....
