Arrival to Michigan and camping!

We left the heat of Texas at the end of June to travel north to see family and friends in Michigan.  As is tradition, my sister's family was camping at a local county park for the week of the fourth of July.  We arrived on June 28th, headed to watch my niece's softball game, then went to the campground for some campfire fun.  We hung out with my sister's family the whole week, going back and forth from my mom's house at times and spent the night in the camper with them twice.  Much fun was had---beach time, campfire time, and just plain fun time. 

 On July 2nd (Saturday) the park got super crowded because they put on a huge fireworks show each year and people come for the entire day.  Oh, the humanity!  We were smart this year and decided to avoid those crowds during the day and had water fun at the campsite instead. 

In the early evening the park sets up a couple of bounce houses and has a band with live music.  We always head down for that.  Tessa, Kendra and Luke hugged on each other while waiting for the bounce house.

We headed down to the beach for fireworks.  This small county park puts on an amazing show every year!
I snapped some pics while waiting...keep in mind we were CAMPING so perhaps not the most stellar appearances by all...(especially me---no makeup!) and that day decided to be in the 90's and muggy!!

LOVE camping with my sister and her family...we always have so much fun and it is a great kick-off to our Michigan trip each year!
