Caseville

Jay's parents have had their trailer parked at Caseville all summer. They begged us to come up and use it. Unfortuantely, we didn't get up there half as much as we wanted to. With a garage that we redid and a new door that we put in, and a bathroom that we spruced up and Jay's crazy work schedule and the yardwork and the parties it just didn't happen the way we planned. We made it up for one weekend and then on two seperate occasions we made a day trip out of it.

This past week, Jay decided on Thursday that we should head up to Caseville on Saturday. He called his brother and the plans were set. Our two families were heading up for a visit. Jay had called his parents and left them a message on their never working cell phone but apparently they didn't get the message and we shocked the heck out of them. When Jay's brother and SIL and nephew pulled in ten minutes behind us, they were shocked beyond belief.

We had a super day spending time at the park, having dinner out, going on a nice nature hike at the nature trail and just spending time outdoors. The weather was perfect to say the least. A little cold for the beach and swimming, which disappointed Em and Elle, but perfect in every other way. I am so pleased that our children love the outdoors like they do. It makes me so happy to spend all this time together as a family enjoying the most simple things. I was a maniac out on the nature trail and freaked everyone out by pretending to eat wild mushrooms and dead mice. Good times. Fun times. It makes me giggle, but I am pretty sure my in laws think I am a nut job. Hey, isn't that what life is all about? haha!
