We are packed up and leaving on Tues July 15-Sun July 20 for Munising MI!
Tyler was staying home.....
I din't take any pictures of the camp site ..as it was just like last years.... and the year before..lol
We like consistency!
Most of these are just general pictures showing the messes we get ourselves into.
We stop and take potty breaks and snack stops ...
This was the FIRST year Trent could drive on his own!
He was more than thrilled to not be a passenger!
Steve also had a first ..he got a new CanAm Outlander..sweet ride for him!
Oh And Troy bought a "new to him" quad...He bought Aunt Kristi's Kawasaki
He said "it's a lot of work to ride that machine!!"
MUD!! and more MUD!!
Troy getting orders from Craig....
Steve ...not sweat!
wet!
Steve & Trent
the ladies deriving a plan..
Kelly & Kristi
this is the "Scene of the Accident"...Daren (on far right) had a slip and fall accident and fell on his knee cap and broke it..we did not know that till after we arrived home and he had an x-ray!
sometimes we get stuck...
sometimes a dad steps in...
sometimes ya gotta get in the water...
then.. along comes an Outlander..
Kristi...she's a REAL women!!
Our view.... we take the roads less traveled!
Joanne...
Joanne...Stuck!
But I drive like a girl..Seriously, I don't gun it when I'm suppose to, I turn the wheels when I should keep them straight, I shift up when I'm suppose to shift down...it's a miracle I make it out alive ! :)
G-pa & Steve to the rescue!
apparently I don't drive sooo bad...Troy stuck too!
In ALL our defenses..there was a log under there ...we kept getting hung up on!
now Nic
eeekk...Steve... don't get your bum wet!
G-pa getting his jeans wet!
That's 3 generations of bonding there! LOL!
we just got unstuck and along comes another water/mud hole..
Don't be jealous ladies!!
I know you all wish you could have this kind of fun!
Haha..love it!
G-pa walking Troy through
lol..now G-pa & Craig pulling Troy through
up on the bank
G-pa NEVER gets stuck!
Troy stuck again! I tell you!
Snack time!
Steve's drying his socks!...he actually tied his socks on his front fender till the next stop
Nic, Troy & Steve
Dirt Sisters! Taking a break!
Trent!! look forward!
Eddie came too!
T-shirt auction!
Daren won, by popular vote and Trent had to wear Darens shirt...
"That's how we roll!!"
boot drying
Wandering Wheels 2014! 12 quads!
they politely asked to come in the back entrance....I wonder why??
talking, enjoying and lunching!
Yes, Rica goes with us everyday!
Kelsey!
Craig
Troy
Steve
G-pa Neil
The "adults" wore our T-shirts out to dinner at Foggys in Christmas MI
Kristi
Daren explained the weird t-shirts to our waitress ..she got quite a chuckle as she went around the table reading each one!
a funny...Daren was giving his order and he told the waitress that "mustache" (which what was one Kellys shirt) was with him...she pointed at Neil and said "him??"..lol...maybe not so funny now but it was at the time!
eating lunch at Autrain Point
All I remember is it was sooo hot...that shrub was the only shade in the whole area! (which didn't really help!)
sometimes they take us to see water and clean sand
Then we go back to our reality -- massive mud holes!
So we were *trying* to get to a Laughing Whitefish waterfall.
The holes were ENORMOUS and LONG and THICK and the Mosquitoes were the size of sparrows and and and...and then when we got close by quad (or what we thought was close) we had to get off and walk and walk walk..it was hideous! We had to drive through a farmers field to get there and back ..the farmer had mannequins in his yard ..Eddie would have felt right at home!! lol..only in the U.P.! :)
Kelly and I got to the falls took a 2 second look and practically ran back to the quads..all that to wait for everyone else to get back...hahaha..we didn't think through that very well!
Seriously people we went through this.
Autrain gas station..filling up!
Aww..Daren giving Kelly some lovin'..I'm sure he was telling her what a good driver she was and how proud of her he was!
On our way home, on US2 just west of St Ignace, we stopped to let Trent swim in Lake Michigan!
I do have to say, we are so lucky to have such a awesome lake in MI!
in his shorts
shedding the shorts..
jumping the waves
Steve found his swim suit in the trailer
the Rig pointed homeward
We had a wonderful time filled with fun memories!
Sorry this took me so long to get it posted...only 6 months behind! :) Hey, better late then never!
My goal is to get back up to real life!
