Camping

Spent the weekend camping with our church in Door County at Peninsula State Park. We had a great time. Patrick did great and seemed to enjoy camping. We went up Thursday and had to pitch the tent in the rain. Michael and I seem to have issues with water when we do things. I'd say about half our dates had some sort to catastrophy involving water. Friday, we took a day trip up to Washington Island. The ferry was rather expensive, but it was fun.

We ate lunch at the beach on the north side of the island and then took a walk on the beach. This beach was nothing but round smooth rocks. Patrick did not like the sound of the waves hitting the beach. He started to fuss and cry.

We also stopped at a Norwegian inspired prayer chapel. I loved this since I'm 1/8 Norwegian.

We had thought about going to Rock Island but didn't want to pay the additional ferry fee. That night we sat around the fire and talked with our fellow campers. Saturday we just relaxed and spent time in the park. We went to "Not Licked Yet" and great frozen custard place.

We then stopped and visited the lighthouse on our way to the beach.

At the beach we tried the water out. Patrick dipped his toes and then cried, too cold. He didn't mind the water that had warmed up a little in the sand castles left by previous beach goers.

Patrick is sitting by him-self for short periods of time.

He liked the sand and I had to try and keep him from eating it.

Sunday was church, clean up, and then to Fond du Lac to say goodbye to Jason and Lorraine, who are leaving for Austria for the next 2 years.
