Hoffman Camping Trip 2013

Let me start off saying I feel I need a vacation from my actual vacation. As a mother and wife do you feel the same sometimes about a family vacation? Right now we are recouping and catching up on our sleep.

Every summer for a week in the month of July, my Husbands father's side of the family all goes camping. I absolutely love this tradition that I am able to become a part of because I grew up camping as a child. It may come across that I may not be the type to love camping. There us just something about the welcoming campground aroma. If your a camper as well, you must know what I'm talking about.

This year was a little different. We did not have to pack a high chair or pack and play for our youngest. She is also walking now compared to last years camping trip.

 We had a lovely time being able to have conversations with family members while letting the girls play with their 2nd cousins.

Of course the scenery is just beautiful and being surrounded by Lake Michigan makes it well worth the trip. We did some hiking up the dunes (not our littles ones though) and watched the sunset.

Our girls did great camping. They had a fun time and I'm happy I can make these family fun memories with them.

Until next year for camping trip 2014!
