Change Pointe camping 2009

Every year our Life group (Sunday school class) plans a camping trip in the summer. This year we went to High Cliff State Park on Lake Winnebago in Sherwood Wisconsin. It was a pretty park with nice trails. But I think we all agree that they could use some improvements in their bathrooms and beach area!

Friday night when we got there the weather wasn't the greatest...ok it stunk! It was cold and rainy. But, all 8 couples and their kids showed up and we had sloppy Joes and set up camp for the night. The kids sure didn't mind the weather...they had a blast getting soaked in the puddles.

Casey and Lilly had a blast playing tee ball that evening. Saturday was chilly, but no rain. The kids enjoyed riding bikes around and playing in the large grassy area across from our site. We spent some time down by the beach playing on the playground and throwing rocks into the water. Us adults played a few games of volleyball. Matt and I agree this was one of the highlights of the trip.

Casey and Matt climbed the tower 5 times while Caleb and I napped in the van.

Here are the boys on the merry-go-round. You can see the lake in the background...very pretty.

Here is the line up of strollers watching us play volleyball. They were very entertained.

Caleb and Calvin swinging away...how cute are they?

Jodi was nice enough to hold onto Caleb for me while I went to the bathroom..."mom! don't leave me with this crazy guy and his daughter!"

Casey rode his big wheel a ton this weekend. Every time a car would come he would ride over and park it in the grass. What a speed racer!

Here is Mel and Andy cooking us breakfast. They made homemade donuts, eggs, bacon, sausage, amongst other yummy stuff. What a treat!

Some of the kids took great naps on Saturday (not our of course). The rest of us hung out and ate junk food and played. Saturday night we enjoyed some fun fellowship by the fire after the kids went to sleep. We learned a new word or two and had a few good laughs.

Sunday was spent cleaning up and then playing by the beach. Of course it was the most beautiful day of the weekend! Oh well...despite the not so great weather, stinky port-a-potty's and lack of sleep, it was a great time filled with wonderful memories with friends.
