Summer Fun

Last week we camped at Point Beach State Park which is located along Lake Michigan. We did a mid-week camping trip and it was wonderful. The weather was perfect, it was quiet, the biking was great, and the boys had a ton of fun without TV and video games! We camped with our good friends, the Martinez's who also have boys, Brandon and Sam. The mosquitos weren't horrible. This was Obsi's first real camping trip. The other camping trip for him was Camp Forest Springs. At Camp, we only sleep in the camper.



When we camped over Memorial Day weekend, the boys had gathered up tree bark and discovered the huge fires it can make, along with a lot of black smoke! Tamirat thought it was pretty cool so here he is with tree bark, followed by the huge fire. These types of fire aren't allowed but they burn fast and we didn't get caught! ;-)



Here we are at the beach. The mom's came looking for the boys....how could we miss with this amount of bikes?

What a beautiful beach! This is Alex and he is supposed to look like the Sphinx.

We had eight boys with us.

Nati and Mulugeta were able to join us on this day.

This was also Obsi's first time with his new Trek bike. We all took a bike ride into town on Wednesday, had lunch at McDonald's, did a little shopping and biked back. About a 15 mile trip. The next day, Nati, Obsi, and Tamirat biked to Neshota Beach (into town) and back.

And at the end of a long day, the boys relaxed with a movie in our camper.
