A few months ago we scheduled a Halloween camping trip up in Big Rapids at my parents fave camping resort. The kids love it there and they have a fall festival that we thought would be great. What we didn't plan on was the Arctic Circle traveling a few thousand miles south and planting itself in Michigan! Don't get me wrong, we had a blast. It was just a cold one. I took about a gazillion pictures and I'm sure it'll be a weekend the kids never forget. I'm still trying to recover...taking long hot baths and chillin' on the couch. Some of the highlights...so cold my camera kept fogging up (in the trailer!!!), Zeke taking a long ride on the circle swing and then puking 3 times ("Mommy....Zekey get off now.. "), wathcing the pumpkins explode during the pumpkin smash, trying to eat dinner outside with the crew (my parents best friends and their kids were also there), seeing the kids Halloween outfits disappear under loads of winter gear.... Really, we are a crazy bunch. What can I say, I wouldn't like it any other way! P.S.- Apologies for the haphazard pic posting...can someone tell me how I can post lots of pictures easier???

Love the pictures, Holly! Looks like tons of fun!
I love the games people come up with when using pumpkins! That looked hilarious! I'm so easily amused.
Not to brag, but my goodness, you are all in coats and gloves and we're still in shorts and t-shirts. It's so strange. I guess I can count myself lucky.
Looks like a blast! I hate being cold though! Well, not feeling great so I'm gonna go lay down. Love you guys!
GO TO ROCKYOU.COM...you can make all of your pictures into a slideshow. I used it on my blog and it works great. You can add captions to all of your pictures. BTW...you all are crazy...I hate being cold. I think I was born in the wrong state. I can't wait to visit my brother in Florida...I might not come home.
Looks like you guys had a fun weekend!
Looks like fun! The kiddos all look so cute!
and yes Holly, we'd love to see you when you are in Ohio! Email me with more details. We'll make a date. If you are closer to Canton, maybe we could just meet up at the hospital and you can meet Jakobi...hopefully Maylee will be back by then.
Love ya
