Camping at Stonybrook

A couple weekends ago we went camping with the Laffertys to Stonybrook State Park.  As always, we really enjoyed our time there and the kids loved it.  Friday night it was pretty rainy, so we took off to go bowling for a little while to try to wait out the rain (which didn't work, by the way.  It rained all night!)  We had the whole place to ourselves, which was pretty nice!

Jonas' belly hurt for a little bit, so he took a little rest.

After lunch we went on our usual creek side hike, which usually means we walk at least half of the way right in the water.  Of course, Jonas loves water, so Jonas loves this hike!

After the hike we drove back to get some ice cream :-)

We went home on Sunday, but before the fun ended, we went to Beaver Island for the afternoon for a Trinity picnic and beach day.

And of course, Jonas was passed out at the end of the day :-)

July Fun

Since Disney blogging took so long, I'm going to combine some things I would normally make separate posts out of.  Here's some of the other fun things we've done so far in July.

A trip to Stiglmeier (Losson) Park - fun on the playground and on the trails

And that's the end.  I kind of wish it wasn't, and then we had a couple more days...but we are so fortunate to have an awesome family to go on vacation with, and to be able to experience the magic of Disney!  When can we go again??
