Young State Park Part 2

Craft time with Grandma.

 Well here is part two as promised. We were able to get some of the kids to come visit even though it is a hike from home to get here. Brianna stopped by with a friend on the way home from Petoskey for a couple of hours. Wendy, Graysen and Heidi were able to stop up and spend a night with us. We went out on Lake Charlevoix with Jim and Terri.  The kids and Wendy went tubing and swimming.

Can you believe it is noon and they are still sleeping.

Krista, John, Chloe and Mikayla came up the next weekend and spent some time with us as well. We all went out with Jim and Terri on the boat again but it was too cold to go swimming.  We did take Mikayla out fishing and I do believe she caught more fish then I did. We let John be host for a day, but we had to take his vest away due to the fact that he was trying to throw everyone out of the park.

Super host.

Oh wait... is that a beer in his hand?  Now we understand!    

Holly and Terri  really enjoyed their time together. They had so much fun catching up and and picking on Jim and I.  We also had a chance to visit with our friend Mary who worked on Mackinac Island this summer.  Such a good time talking about those "remember when" moments.  

This was a great place for us to be first-time hosts. We had the chance to meet some nice people, the park staff was great, and we were able to visit with family and catch up with good friends. We want to thank Jim and Terri for entertaining us and our family, and for the great meals that Terri made.

Well this gets us caught up to the present. Even though we enjoyed our time at Young State Park, the trees are telling us it's time to get out of here and get on the road. We'll be home for a few days to take care of some business, repack the motor home for a different climate (we hope) and our next stop will be Elephant Butte, New Mexico. It just don't get no better then this.
