Tents, Dirt, 15 Kids, and a GREAT few days

Our annual neighborhood camping trip was a blast.  We had 10 adults and 15 kids!  I still can't believe how great all the children get along and behave.  (The adults have a lot of fun as well)...

We went to PJ Hoffmaster State Park by Muskegon.  It is a beautiful campground on Lake Michigan.  We spent three nights there.  We were a little worried about the HEAT wave, but it ended up being the perfect weather up north and on the water.

Thank goodness for the new sky box...  but we still were very loaded down.

 I love that Caitlin still sucks her thumb!

 My two little campers.  Madison is inside the purple sleeping bag.

 Caitlin crawled in bed with me the morning that the boys went fishing.

 The five guys and Blake went fishing one morning.  Blake loved it minus the sea sick times...  He said that he wants to do it again.

 The GANG

 We had 7 tents total between 4 camp sites.  Each family had a tent and then one for the girls and one for the boys.  The kids slept in different places every night.  It was adorable.

 Our new tent.  It is a 10 person tent.  It was great to be able to stand up in it and walk around.  Also got the new little electric fridge.  

 Treasure Chest HUNT...  The kids really look forward to finding the clues.

 Finding the clues...  It was so cute to see 15 kids running around the campground.  They got so excited.

 They found the treasure chest.  They are patiently waiting to see what is inside.  Each child had a goodie bag with their name on it.

 Lunch on the beach...

 The girls loved climbing up in the dunes to play.

 This is our great beach set up...  We spent two long days just chillin'

 Of course Blake found a toad.  I felt a little bad for the poor toad.

 Squirt gun fight...

 Our second beach day the waves were much bigger.

 Dune CLIMB...

 This was at the top of the dune.  It was beautiful up there.
