Jeff, Michelle, Meera and Adelina are some of our very best friends here in Michigan. The four of them, also transplants from across the country (except Addie, she was born here and I was there the night she came!) are such a sweet and wonderful family. Michelle is a real friend to me. I can speak so honestly with her and know that she'll be understanding and open to what I am thinking. We feel very comfortable with all of them and our children love one another! Truly a treasure to have.
Just because we love each other as families, doesn't mean that spending 3 days together camping is a good idea...except that it was!! We had such a fantastic time! We stuck close to home and camped at Sleepy Hollow State Park. This was our first time Otis camping and with all 9 of us, we felt like it would be safer....we realized how smart we were when I forgot to bring COFFEE and drove home the next morning to get some!
Lots of fishing and eating (we made fish tacos from our catch), games, swimming, napping, camp fires, music, laughing, running, washing dishes in a bucket....it was a great weekend of family time, community bonding. We hope to do it again next year!
