Camping with the Neighbors

The kids: Mylee, Maddy, Kendal, Hayden, Ben, and Gabe

Our annual camping weekend with the neighbors followed tradition with a weekend of crummy weather. This year we went to South Haven, MI to the Covert KOA. It was an awesome campground with a beautiful pool and hundreds of blueberry bushes with the most delicious blueberries I have ever tasted. The Schmidts did a great job finding this campground, but it was unfortunate that we didn't get to enjoy it to its fullest as the weather was rainy. Thank goodness we rented cabins this year as it would have been pretty miserable being wet all weekend with the kids. We did get out to the campground until late Friday night and it was actually stopped raining for a few hours so we could enjoy a small campfire for a few hours. Saturday was cold and rainy so we found an indoor waterpark close by to spend the day at. We did manage to cook dinner over a campfire and roast a few marshmellows before the rain clouds rolled in. Sunday looked gleamy so we packed up and left. So there wasn't much camping that took place but we had a great time none the less. Sometimes you have to improvise, especially when there are 6 kids involved. Hopefully next year our luck will change although I'm thinking next year we should start a new tradition of taking the group up north to my folks house for some swimming, fishing, skiing, and 4-wheeling.
