Camping with Friends - Van Buren State Park

We were blessed to spend another summer vacation with our good friends the VandenBosches, Marcusses, and Morris'.  This year we decided to try camping.  3 trailers and one tent and we were set to go! We spent 4 nights at Van Buren State Park in South Haven and only had to endure one thunderstorm (thanks to our friends with trailers we stayed dry).  For the most part, we had beautiful weather which was perfect for playing in the middle of the road, biking, and the beach.  And so many other fun activites too. Thanks for the memories, friends!

Helping Daddy fix up the bikes
Snacking (lots of snacking)
Playing Play-doh
Just relaxing
Decorating bikes with crepe paper and beads
Painting rocks
Riding bikes and trikes

Enduring one thunderstorm
Picking blueberries
Bike trips to the beach
Making s'mores
And snuggling in the tent

You are the best set of camping parents ever. Our kids eat dirt and play with dead bugs the whole time.

I guess we did do a lot of activities....but I definitely would not have brought all this stuff on my own if it were just my own kids! That's the beauty of having multiple families to go with. We had a lot of fun! Wish we could have camped with you this year!

Looks like you guys had fun. Gives me hope for future camping trips for us;) I love the picture of the twins watching the thunderstorm. So sweet!
