Our middle of nowhere Ohio camping spot for the night. We woke up in Canada and drove way too many miles thru Michigan to get to this random KOA. Let’s backtrack to how we got there. (Not gonna lie tho, it was a pretty boring drive and this blog is pretty much all about our … More Summer 2024: Canada to Ohio
Canada, eh? We drove only a couple minutes from our KOA campground to this lovely gem of a nature area. Umm, gorgeous! We pushed Amelia’s stroller up to the first waterfall. Only part of the trail was a bit sketchy/ wet/uphill. As mentioned earlier on the blog, I am planning on buying her a hiking … More Summer 2024: Canada
Wednesday was another slower start to a drive day. We weren’t in a huge hurry to get going, but did breakfast and started packing up to leave our campsite at Fort Wilkens State Park in Copper Harbor, MI. I didn’t pre-prep anything for lunch and so we all ended up having a snacky/packaged snack foods … More Summer 2024: MI to Canada
Yesterday we woke up from our first night camping at the Fort Wilkens State Park in Michigan. We had a slower morning and breakfast. We then walked down to the historic Fort part of the state park. It was fun to explore for a bit while it was still decently cool outside. Fort Wilkens was … More Summer 2024: Copper Harbor, MI
Since we didn’t have like an 8+ hour drive to our camping spot in Michigan (and couldn’t check in until after 3 pm), we had a slow morning at the Hayward, Wisconsin KOA. The boys ate their breakfast outside and then played a round of mini-golf. While the boys golfed, I made some rice in … More Summer 2024: WI to MI
Yesterday, DJ flew into Minnesota from Virginia. He had been back home working while the kids and I spent the last several weeks in MN with family and friends. We left town a little before 10 AM and drove into the Twin Cities to see one of DJ’s Marine Corps friends from when we lived … More Summer 2024: MN to WI
Legit didn’t take any photos today. Oops. Today Jackson spent most of the day with his cousins from their sleepover at Nana and Papa’s last night. They had all the funs and Jackson was definitely brunt toast this evening from all the excitement. This morning DJ prepped the camper for us. We took it to … More 2024 Summer Day 7
I’m procrastinating and taking less photos these days… so, here we are… another short post I maybe will expand on later(?) TBD… Today we went into Maple Grove to have lunch with DJ’s cousin and her kids. We always have the best time hanging out with them. This is the same family we spent time … More 2024 Summer Day 6
I may add more later… but today we had lunch at my parents and hung out with 2 of the cousins. There was chalking, bubbles, catch, golf, and fun. I’ve got some stuff to finish before bedtime, so good night!
All the grandparents were busy during the day today. My parents went into the cities to see a matinee at a dinner theater. DJ’s parents both had to work. So, we opted to get outside and enjoyed the not-so-crappy weather. First we walked around the lake in town. It’s just under 4 miles, so OCD … More 2024 Summer Day 4
