Two of the happiest, tiredest, dirtiest kids in history.

Just after crossing over the Mackinaw Bridge. We brought Allison and Rachel with us to pick up the kids and for a week at Buckatabon. It was AWESOME!!

The park where the kids spent the vast majority of their time.

Seriously.

The world's smallest chicken leg.

There was a bear in camp! It was hanging around a little too much, so it was time to call DNR to do something about it. Being that we were sleeping in a very thin, nylon tent, with 4 marshmallow-scented children, I was ok with that idea. (Did you know that marshmallows are a favorite food of the black bear??)

The crew, including my cousin Kaitlyn, on a day trip to Bond Falls in the U.P.

Jacob and Kaitlyn on the tube - MAJOR accomplishment as Kaitlyn hasn't tubed in YEARS!

Back home for another session of swimming lessons.


Finally, I spent the weekend in Chicago at the Craft & Hobby Association Summer 2008 trade show buying for Pages In Time. Fun stuff!
It's been a great month since I posted last. We're REALLY enjoying our summer, which is flying by WAY too fast. Lots more fun in store...
