We just got back from Grayling, MI camping with the kids. Yes, we took a 6 month old camping. He actually did great! I should add that we like the rustic campgrounds with only a well for water and 2 outhouses...yeah we are crazy. We ended up staying at a new campground this year on Lake Margarethe, I guess my mom live there for awhile when she was about 5. I thought that was kind of neat. Its a beautiful lake and very sandy and shallow, Great for kids. We got there about 6:00 on Friday and got the last campsite by the water. I think it might have been the best one there. We set up camp, had a fire and Ty and Wyatt went to sleep just like at home. Saturday we went swimming at 10:00 and then went into town around noon. They had a craftshow and a classic car show, which Ty really enjoyed, and we found a park to play at. There was a rock wall at the craft show and Ty gave it a try...he reached half way up and the let go, I think he might have gone further, but Jon couldn't reach him anymore and I think he got a little scare. Then back to camp for lunch and a nap, yes surprisingly I got them to take a nap at the same time and Jon and I even closed our eyes for a few minutes. Then around 6 we went back to town to play putt putt golf and to watch the start of the canoe race. If you don't know, every July there is a canoe marathon from Grayling to Oscoda along the AuSauble river. Its 122 miles and the start at 9 at night and canoe all night, reaching Oscoda around 11 in the AM. it's really cool. Hopefully this will be our family trip each summer, Jon and I started going there in 1997. Anyways here are some photos of our weekend....
