Last Trip out with the Trailer for 2010

It was forecasted to be a dry but chilly weekend. The boys wanted to go camping, the girls wanted to stay home and go to a rollerskating party on Saturday. So - we split up for Friday night. Boys weekend camping and a girls weekend at home. The pictures I have to share are only from the boys perspective, because Paul had the camera with him.

We decided that this special weekend was a special case, and took Nicholas out of school for the day on Friday. Paul, Nicholas and Sam hit the road fairly early in the morning and spent much of the day up at Ludington State Park. Apparently, the wind was something else and literally knocked Sam off his feet down by the beach. The wind wasn't nearly so bad up at the campsite and they had a lot of fun together.

Paul had packed a rake and made a great leaf pile for the boys to jump in.

There was some bike riding....

....and of course some playing on the playground.

While the boys were away, I tried to make a special girls night too. I surprised the girls by picking them up at school, instead of them riding the bus. We then headed to the movie store to pick out a movie, stopped by Hobby Lobby to purchase a special craft and then had a great dinner out together. We then headed home for our craft and movie night. Saturday morning we vegged around the house, did another craft and spent the afternoon at the roller skating rink.

A great weekend was had by all, but sadly, the trailer has now been put away until spring.
May it come quickly.
