If you haven't guessed..I was on vacation last week. My husband gets a tad bit upset when I announce to the world that we're leaving the house unattended for extended lengths of time. Can't imagine why! So, I left you in a lurch and I apologize.
But look at what I did while I was on vacation! That's a bear cub, people! A playful, inquisitive, bear cub who had a slight fascination with my hair.
In addition to visiting a bear ranch, the family (and by that I mean my extended family) also walked along a small section of Pictured Rocks, went on a Shipwreck boat tour on a glass-bottomed boat, went to a children's museum, trudged down many a trail to find a pretty little waterfall. At night we'd sit around a campfire and talk. There were many late nights, but I'm not complaining.
We even decided to spend an extra day in the area. Luckily the campground could squeeze us in. It was a close thing according to the hubby.
Our last day was spent with my cousin and her family. Everyone else in our group packed up early that morning and headed home. Not that I blame them. They had two very young children with them and they had been packed into a small camper and a tent for five days. I would have wanted to go home, too.
We spent our last day on the shipwreck tour and lounging around the campground. We took the kids swimming and ate dinner at a decent time for once. It was thoroughly enjoyable.
The trip was made all the sweeter by the knowledge that Alison Kent had drawn my name in her first drawing for the 70 Days of Sweat Challenge! Thank you, Alison! I hope you received my e-mail. I was in a hurry to get out the door that morning and had barely had time to post my numbers.
I'm so glad you had a great trip! Those pictures looked AMAZING! Where did you go?? I hope you had a wonderful birthday! I miss you and would love to chat and catch up on things in your life. I was thinking about calling you the other night after Skylar went to sleep but it was like 9ish our time and I didn't want to wake anyone up. Let me know a good time to call and hopefully I will call you soon to catch up! I love you!
ReplyDeleteWe went into Munising, Michigan (located in Michigan's UP). We stayed within an hour vicinity of our campground on most trips. We made it as far as Marquette and Newberry.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great trip. A very long drive with the camper, but Ken and I agree it was worth all those hours on the road.
It looks so beautiful. You'll have to tell me all about it tomorrow. I'll definetly bring your book. I'm almost done with mine! :) See you tomorrow and KC tomorrow night!
ReplyDeleteI finished! I didn't think that I would get through it this weekend, but I enjoyed it very much and couldn't put it down (to the great annoyance of my boyfriend).
ReplyDeleteSee you tomorrow
