It's Camping Time!

This spring my dad and Scott did quite a bit of work on our pop-up camper to get it ready for this camping season...but as of May however, we only had one camping trip booked for the whole summer - camping at North Higgens Lake State Park for the 4th of July!  Since the camper turned out so nice, I was really itching to take it out and get in a few more trips this summer.

Scott and I started tossing around ideas and ended up booking a quick weekend away at Silver Lake State Park for the very fist weekend in June and the Sherd's decided to join in on our fun!  Up until the night(ish) before we left the forecast looked great for the weekend, but a cold front blew in and people were telling us we were crazy to keep our reservations.  We stuck with it though and ended up having a great time!  Friday night was a bit windy & chilly, but that didn't stop us from sitting out next to a rip-roaring bon fire and eating s'mores until after midnight.  Saturday ended up being a great day and the sun made a nice appearance while we took a walk around both loops of the park - it actually got so warm we all stripped off our layers and sweatshirts!  Aiden had so much fun playing with Liam and we can't wait for our next trip with them to Interlochen State Park at the end of July!

Then, the very next weekend we ended up going camping with my mom & dad at Brighton State Park!  Scott had to be in Auburn Hills for work on Friday, so I took the day off so we could drive in together Thursday night.  We spent Thursday night at mom and dad's house and pulled the camper out to the park Friday afternoon.   The weather this last weekend was picture perfect, if not a big too hot - it was 92 on Saturday!  We took advantage of the warm weather and spent some time at the beach on Saturday afternoon and Aiden had a blast swimming in Bishop Lake!
