4th of July & Camping


We had another great 10 day vacay with the Wolfe clan.  We spent the first 3 nights camping at Pokagon State Park in Indiana and then the remainder of the week at the Lake in Michigan.  We were spoiled by great weather and great company.  Camping was a blast for the kids, it's still a little hard and messy with kids as young as Josh and Charlie, but they loved it nonetheless and it was much easier than last year when Josh was still crawling.  The lake was amazing as always; we spent our days on the boat, the brand new super fast jet skis, kayaking, paddle boarding and enjoying great company.  It was our first fourth of July at the lake and it did not disappoint.  Julie's parents had a huge party and the winds were blowing in the right direction so there were hundreds of people shooting off fireworks over the lake.  Definitely the first time Matt and I have seen professional grade fireworks shot off by amateurs up close and personal.  It was insane, and awesome!  We LOVE summer!     
 The slack-line was a very fun camping addition
 The nerf guns were also a huge hit!

 Zoe learned how to die hair with chalk from a girl we met camping and she was hard at work all week.
 Alec and Logan are absolutely the best of friends - so cute!
 This pic is blurry but I love it b/c you can see the look of utter glee on Charlie's face - he was literally scream laughing
 Josh and Lewis - they are two days apart.  Josh (,y small child) has about 10 pounds on him
 Alec turns everything into a ninja warrior course
