Day 1 and Day 2 Summary

Thirteen of us left our street at around 5:30 a.m. and were very excited to hit the road. We were making excellent time until we hit a BAD construction jam. Ugh! We arrived at our Jellystone Campground at around 6:30 p.m. We are staying in a camping room that is really nice! We were surprised to find a microwave and a refrigerator in the room. Yay!

While my sister and all the others were setting up their campers, we took the kids over to the playground. The campground was celebrating Yogi's birthday Caribbean-style and there was a costume for the best dressed. It looked like one big luau! There is so much to do here for kids! Movies, crafts, wagon rides, swimming, and a slip and slide event.

Day 2: We had breakfast and then went grocery shopping for lunches and dinner. We then got ready for the beach! At the parking lot, Clayton picked us up in his mule and drove us over the sand dunes and over to the beach. Lake Michigan looked like an ocean! Whoa! It had waves and the wind was REALLY strong!

The kids had a blast this time at a beach. They chased each other, make a sandcastle, splashed in the water, buried their cousin Brittany, ate lunch, and much more!

After the beach, we grilled out hot dogs, hamburgers and the best grilled potatoes and carrots! Yum! Everyone went next door to the slick track and rode go-karts. We took Cody and Carleigh in the double cars and they LOVED it! Cody rode with me and wanted to kiss me in the middle of the ride. He just giggled and giggled!

We came home, had to give the kids a shower (what an ordeal!) and then sat around the fire a bit before going to bed.

We are looking forward to a day of lighthouses, shopping, and more beaches today! (I will post pics sometime later. My internet is slow and unless I go to the game room and hook up to the campground WI FI, I don't have a fast connection. It is a REALLY remote area as my cell phone will not work either(which has ALWAYS worked wherever I have gone to).
