A Glimpse at Our Family Camping Trip, Part 3

An enchanting view: the creek that runs into the Lake

Enjoying Lake Michigan...and our WholesomeWear swimsuits!


Daddy gallantly rigged up a badminton net off the clearance rack, some $.99 plastic poles, and thick branches to make a "volleyball court" on the beach for us. Hours of fun!


The girls playing peek-a-boo from behind Mom and Dad. You can see a bit of our raft (which we jokingly call "our boat").


Daddy giving his impish grin. ;) (Does it look anything like the volleyball?)


David enjoying the "kiddie pool" creek


The boys just can't get by without shinnying up a few trees, you know! ;)


Wooded dunes against a blue sky!


"Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let thy glory be over all the earth!"
(Psalm 57)

What beautiful family photos!

I flatter myself to say this, but you and your sisters remind me so much of my daughters!
