CAMP "BED HEAD"


We just spent 10 wonderful days at Burt Lake State Park in Indian River, Michigan. I love camping and as you can see from the previous picture....I also love "no-more-tangles". I spent a little time sleeping in the great outdoors and we came up with some pretty messy hair-do's!!!!!

We took a couple day-trips while camping up north. . . To Mackinaw Island, Mackinaw City, Harbor Springs and we checked out two state parks for possible future camping trips: Wilderness State Park and Petoskey State Park - They were beautiful parks but would not really work well for our family.




We spent a lot of time outside!!!


This has been a good summer for our family. We enjoy camping . . . .













lots of walking through the park . . . my parents ride their bikes through the park and Mom enjoyed riding her bike to the grocery - filling her handy basket!!

Campfires . . . meeting new friends . . .

A "Cross in the Woods" - at the top of this tall hill, just above the State Park is a cross in the woods. (It's a little hard to see in this picture but it's there!)



Memories of Mom's teen years of camping with her family right about in this spot!!!









Peaceful during the week - when the week-ends comes, the park fills up with campers and we meet new friends.





Exploring

God's

Creation

Neat things to see outdoors....

We went to a DNR information meeting at the camp activity center - we learned about pollination (bees, butterflies and birds).

Our next trip will be to Ludington State Park on Lake Michigan - we have a week-end trip planned. God is Good...he has blessed us with a wonderful summer filled with his Great Outdoors!!!
