This year our big family summer trip involved 7 families, 3 dogs, 12 kids, 13 adults and nearly 40 hours of driving! I have a few posts coming up talking all about our trip to the UP and the activities we did along the way, but today I'm sharing family photos of the entire crew. It was definitely a trip for the memory books!
Everyone on the trip had a camper of some sort. Most of them new (to the owners) in the last year or so. But, honestly I think one of Ryan's favorite parts of these trips is helping everyone get all their stuff set up and organized. He's a man with a plan and he can't wait to help. Liz even made a comment about how within 15 minutes of arriving somewhere Ryan would show up with tools in hand and start setting up up things.
For us this trip was 10 days long and involved 4 different locations along the way. We left on Thursday evening after work and made our way, with Jamie and Zach, near Green Bay at a brand new campground that opened just this spring called Brown County Reforestation Campground - a beautiful campground that is definitely worth checking out if you are planning to stay in the Green Bay area. Don't think it didn't cross my mind that this would be an ideal spot if we were going to a Packer game! Someday (soon!).
From there we traveled to a Straits Campground, just across the lake from Mackinac Island where we camped for 2 nights. After that we headed to Tahquamenon Falls for 2 nights and ended our trip at Pictured Rocks where we stayed at a private campground called Munising Tourist Park - that was located RIGHT on the beach of Lake Superior.
I have lots more photos and stories to share, but for today, I wanted to highlight our crew for the trip. These kids (and adults) were all troopers! A trip with a group this size is not easy but we nailed it.
