Closing ceremony

Every year we celebrate the end of summer with a "closing ceremony". This year the kids wanted to camp at the Warren Dunes in Michigan so we packed up our stuff and some friends and headed north.

It was cloudy and sprinkly when we first got there. Just a little peek of sunshine got through.

My new favorite picture of Matt

Hanna, Lauren, Matt, Hunter, Brendan and Gav at the top of the dune. Just behind Brendan is Lake Michigan.

This is where the dune extends into the woods. We start off on a hike in the woods and end up on top of the world

the boys enjoyed a campfire with hot dogs and smores

Gav's telling you, "I did it. I climbed that big sand mountain!"

Lauren & one of her best friends Hanna

It was the pefect ending to a quick summer!
