Last year's camping adventure was such a success, we decided to do it again this year. This time we stayed at Wilson State Park in Harrison, MI. We stuck to two nights again like last year, and given the kids' ages I think that's still sufficient to let them have fun without the parents going crazy. The kids had a few rough moments, but thankfully we all made it out of 'wilderness' with our sanity.
I'm going to take the liberty of speaking for Megan and Dan and say we do this trip for the kids. Sure they see each other about once a month, but only for a few hours usually. This gives them the opportunity to spend tons of time with each other and make memories that will remain with them forever. Adam still tells stories of the times he spent with his cousins at the lake and Megan and I talk about camping trips we went on as kids. We've mixed those together, combining camping and cousins, to get one fantastic weekend.
So the highlights from this year: playing for hours at the beach ~ teaching the kids how to build drip sand castles (grandpa would've been so proud) ~ watching the girls play together ~ eating s'mores ~ Adam burning his mouth on a campfire pizza (because he just. can't. wait.) ~ seeing Barney riding a bike around the campground
Next year we'll have one more Burr cousin to add to the adventure. Though I don't know how Mason and Mya are going to be able to wait a whole year - they're already asking when we can go camping with Julia again!
