Camping 2007

Last weekend was our annual camping trip. This year, there were a few less people and a lot more rain, but it was still a lot of fun.

The Wegienka clan picked Port Crescent State Park near Port Austin, in the thumb, for our camping trip this summer. It was a very nice campground with a pretty nice beach for Lake Huron. The water felt great for the little time we actually got to spend in it.

We got rained on pretty hard Friday evening and Saturday morning. The rain held off during the night, and, luckily, our new tent held up pretty well and the majority of the water that ended up inside was not from the rain, but from a leaky cooler. Unfortunately, we didn't seem to get any photos of the new tent out in the wild. I guess there's always next year. It was also nice having Kari and Craig's camper there to escape into when the rain got to be too much.

Jake did really well for most of the trip. We could tell that his teeth were still bothering him a bit, but he was a trooper. Jake and Lauren, who is one month older, played really well together. Evan was even great about playing with the little kids too until Colin made it up on Saturday with Lynette. Evan kept calling Jake his "little friend". He also is the first child to make the infamous "Camping Quote Book". On Saturday morning, after all the kids were done with breakfast and already off playing, Evan wandered back to the picnic table. He looked at a bunch of bananas and asked if he could have one. He then proceeded, instead, to grab a powdered donut hole and said, "Thanks for the white banana," and ran off!
