For the past 11 years we have gone to the Group Camp at Pokagon State Park. Usually there are around 12 families that go and we stay in very primitive cabins. There is a big kitchen/living area and campground bathrooms. We usually go on Friday and stay through Monday, and the days are totally packed. Instead of boring you to death with descriptions of the whole weekend, I'll just use lots of pictures!!
Quite the intimidating site driving down the road...and this is just a few of the "kids"
We went to the Nature Center and Madison wasn't to sure about the turtle.
Alyssa and I have been friends for about as long as I can remember!! This year she was in a wedding and had to leave on Saturday...the weekend was not the same with out her.
The boys buried Madison in the sand and she loved it!!!
Every year we have a skit night, where anyone who wants to can do skit. This year Marcia had a game for a few of the parents. She gave them ingredients to make lemonade, but they had to do it in the order she said. The had to eat 2 packets of sugar, eat a whole lemon and then drink a full glass of water. The results were hilarious!!!!
On Sunday after church we had cardboard boat races. Each team had some duct tape, cardboard, and plastic. The rule was that you had to have a theme and dress according to the theme. Then we took them out the lake and raced them the the rope and back. This is the first team...The Vikings.
Noah's Ark
Rub-a-dub-tub...The winners!!!!
Mom and dad helped with the winning boat, and these beautiful lips were the prize!! Sorry mom and dad, I couldn't resist.
Travis, Tyler, and Lyndon went goose hunting on Monday morning and came back with 6 geese. Yuck!!!
We had such a great time this year, and we can't wait for next year!!!! (Thanks Pam for the tip!! I finally got more than 5 pictures posted at once!)

Hey Janel,
Oh, good old Group Camp! :) I wish I could have been there the whole time...but the wedding was good and I'm glad I could at least go for a couple days. Next year will be different. The boat races look like a lot of fun. Great themes! Did they all float? Well, thanks alot for all of your hard work today for lunch. It was great. Sorry I couldn't have stuck around longer. Alrighty, have a great evening and I will talk to you this weekend. We ought to hit the Greenway sometime. Love you lots.
