Gone campin'

Hey, sorry for the lack of posting.  All of our efforts have been going into not melting. Phew! (wipes brow)

Our first camping outing of the year took place a couple of weeks ago at Cran Hill Ranch in Michigan where we received further evidence that the boys are growing up and growing easier because we did NOT HATE IT! Our moments of feeling overwhelmed and out of our depth were SIGNIFICANTLY less than last year, so I'm glad to tell you that a great time was had by all.
Cran Hill is an extremely family-friendly, Christian-run campground/summer camp. The few days we were there were filled with swimming, fishing, horse-drawn-wagon-riding, s'mores making, ice-cream eating, and family togetherness with my parents and brother/sister-in-law/nephew/nephew-to-be. In our "backyard" was a huge playground:
and in our "front yard", the lake:

Brilliant.
The only downer was that we packed up early on our last day in a steady rain and then drove out of the campground under sun and blue sky. But the rest of the weekend made up for it, and we are already thinking ahead to next year's trip (in these same spots, I hope).
