This past weekend we went camping in the Silver Lake/Mears area with the "Anderson" side of the family. It's always fun to camp with Grandma/Grandpa Hill and Uncle Ron/Aunt Christie and Brandon. We stayed in a nice private campground right near Silver Lake and Lake Michigan. On Saturday morning we went to see the Little Sable Lighthouse, and actually got to climb all the way to the top. Those circular staircases are interesting to say the least -- not especially hard to go up, but kinda weird coming down :-) The view at the top was really beautiful though. While we were there we even saw some people fly overhead on a glider. Mom and Dad had to leave late morning to come back home to go to a wedding, but us boys stayed at the campground and that afternoon we went on a 9 mile bike ride and hung out at the campground.
On Sunday morning we went to "Mac Woods" and took the dune ride in the "Sahara Cruiser". In the afternoon we got to drive/ride on the dunes in rented jeeps -- that was AWESOME!! It was a lot of fun riding all over the sand, climbing the hills and bumping over the "whoopdy doo's" as the guide called them!
After riding the dunes we stopped at Craig's Cruisers and drove the go-carts -- those were fun too, although not as much fun as the jeep ride.
All in all we had a great weekend and we are looking forward to another weekend of fun camping this coming weekend when we go with the Gormley side of the family. Check back here early next week and we'll tell you all about how that trip went!!
