Camping Season!!!

About this time one year ago, we went camping at a little spot between Superior and Miami called Oak Flats. We thought that since the weather was getting nicer, we would try the first camp of the year at the same place. About an hour (give or take) out east of where we are, this beautiful spot is just far enough away from the city to give you a little respite.

It was a little chilly, but Esther bundled the bug up enough that she stayed warm. She reminded me of the little brother on A Christmas Story. "I can't put down my arms!!!"

It rained on us during the night, but we stayed dry in the tent. And in the morning, when the sun came out and burned off some of the cloud cover, the scenery was awesome, and made us glad that we braved the weather to come out here.

It gave us the break that we needed, (even though we were back in town before noon the next day) and cured my itchy feet for the moment. I made some progress on the teardrop trailer this weekend, as well, and I can't wait to get it finished so we can go camping in style!!! (I'll post some pics soon) but until then, Enjoy!
