Camping - there's a first time for everything!

We had a great time camping.  We were at Sleeper State Park in Caseville, MI.  Way up in the thumb and away from most of civilization.  Closest McDonalds was 30 minutes away.

All this... and we used everything we brought!  

Forgot a mallet, so Derek had to go to the store.  He picked up a hatchet.

Warming egg rolls over the fire... that's how the Chinese camp!

The pedestrian bridge from the campgrounds to the beach.

Muffins for breakfast

Sand Castles

Hiking + Beach = napping Katie while we prepare dinner

Dinner!

What a great time!!!!

Until next time...

Strawberry Season!!!

We had such a great time picking strawberries! It was a beautiful morning. Mikey ate more than he picked, Katie picked them one by one, and I ended up with 10 pounds of strawberries!

  

What does one do with 10 pounds of strawberries?  

You eat them.

Wash, mash and freeze them into ice cube trays for smoothies and strawberry syrup.

You make strawberry cake.
