First Camping Trip of the Year

We had our first camping trip of the year, and the weather cooperated quite well considering it was the first weekend in May in Michigan. It rained a bit on Friday but not too much. Saturday we had some sun, some clouds, some wind and some sweatshirts on and off all day. Of course, we packed up on Sunday to beautiful weather but we were all pretty well exhausted and ready to come home, take a nap and unpack. It was the first weekend Sugarloaf was open for the season and they weren't expecting many people. So when we got there, there was no water or electricity but that was fixed by the end of the day. The evenings were a bit chilly but with the heated mattresses in the camper and lots of blankets we were just fine. We went on a nature walk but it was obvious yet again that the campground had not been used since October. The trail was filled with fallen trees, leaves, mud and water. It was still a fun adventure. Drew caught a fish, well more like Mindy caught the fish for him. When we told him there was a fish on the line he dropped the pole and ran. Not like the first fish he caught, but hopefully he'll want to do it again. He loves to put the worm on, but not so much with touching the fish. Our site was close to the Horseshoe pits and playground so we could let the kids go to the playground and watch them without having to be stuck at the playground. Drew must have roasted about 100 marshmallows and ate maybe 10. Fun times had by all!
