Let vacation begin...

Our first weekend of summer vacation was an amazing weekend camping in Muskegon. It was the perfect place for the kids who LOVED having our own beach right at the campsite. There was a great hiking trail and a giant "jumping pillow". The kids swam from the minute we pulled up (in their clothes) until they fell asleep! They loved fishing with friends who came out for a visit on Saturday. It was a perfect start to the summer! We loved our 'new' 1988 pop up camper that we got from my parents, SO much more comfortable than a tent!! Ernie did awesome too, stayed on his leash all weekend and even enjoyed his first hike!!

FYI: Abby did catch a fish also, but I missed the photo!!

And just like that I have 1st graders

Field Trip to Hope College Science Museum

Looking forward to summer!!

The kids started their last week of Kindergarten today! Amazing. I cannot believe how fast this year went. This afternoon we relaxed, I found Abby and Noah playing checkers! Everyone loves snuggling with Ernie (who is CRAZY today!). We look with anticipation to long relaxing summer days (that might or might not be filled with camps, swimming lessons and t-ball...).

By the way, does anyone have a fenced play yard that we could borrow for two weekends of camping with a puppy who doesn't quite 'do' the leash yet???
