Catch up continued. Camping.

Every year we go camping with our camping partners, Chip and Katie. It is ALWAYS and adventure. Every year we choose to go to a different spot. This year we chose Fisherman's Island State Park in Charlevoix, MI. This was a beautiful state park.

We always must have an American flag flying, and this is what it takes to get it hung...poor Ben.

Getting closer.

Thanks to Katie, Chip was NOT going to fall off Ben and break his neck AGAIN.

We took our bikes from Charlevoix to Petoskey and rode along a bike path and this was the beautiful view most of the way. Doesn't get much better than this!!

Out to eat in Petoskey.

We were all playing on the beach and skipping stones...or trying to anyways.

We always have a great time camping with Chip and Katie. Can't wait to see where we go next year!!

Quote of the weekend: At the restaurant in Petoskey, Chip and I were arguing about which direction is north. This restaurant has a deck that faces the harbor. I asked the waitress, which way is north. She seemed quite unsure of herself and pointed a certain direction. Then I thought I would make things easy for her. I asked her, "which way does the sunset from here?" Her reply, "well, that is pretty unpredictable." Oh no, did she just say that the direction the sun sets is UNPREDICTABLE??? If there is one thing in life that is predictable, it is where the sun sets. We got a few good laughs out of that one!!
