Camping with Betty!

Marguerite went camping 1 week earlier with Betty & her 2 teens. Josiah & Joanna soon found out that their Mom & Aunt could act quite silly together and laugh like a couple of teenagers!
  like them!

Our site (89) on the 2nd beach road
 Joanna moved her tent down from the hill after almost being blown down the 1st night 

 off biking and exploring...   
 This "couch" really enveloped and held onto any who would venture upon it!  
 Gorgeous sunsets as always!


 It was a treat to hear Joanna singing & playing the Ukele in her tent which she loved to do (or in the van with Josiah belting it out - thinking no one could hear them - buut alas, the hatch was open!)
 Sunday after a good service at Bethel CRC, we took our picnic lunch to Lakeshore Lodge to dodge the business at camp of all the weekenders packing up/leaving 
and to make the Lord's Day more special. 
 Then we went to the Dunes beach to show the kids the High Dunes! The photo doesn't capture how high they are!

 part of the walkway was still flooded out
 West Point - beautiful how blue-green the water was!
J&J made rock creations
found a fossil in the rock
we enjoyed sister time!
at a lookout spot looking towards Outlet beach 

lots of felled trees from the Spring flooding
 Betty looking young again!


 last sunset
Betty & kids helped me move to our new site on the beach! (and a nice fellow camper, Tim, who pulled the trailer over!)
Thanks Bets for coming...! Thanks John for doing without your dear wife (&kids) for a week!
Thanks be to God for this special time!
