Alex and the kids have had a very busy past week and a half. The day after elementary school graduation, they headed off to Michigan for a Scheer family vacation. They stayed at a cabin in Grayling, Michigan. It was near to Grandad's Stark family cabin. Alex doesn't take many photos, but I have pieced together the ones I was sent. The kids told me they had a wonderful time! They came home and the very next day we headed out to the North Carolina mountains for a camping trip with friends. It was the annual Father's Day camp in Cedar Mountain. We had a great hike and tons of adventures on this trip. We snuck in a quick visit to Aunt Bay on the way home. Now we are back at home and getting ready for the kid's first camp this summer - gymnastics camp.
The kids told me tons of stories about playing on this swing. They could fish right in the back yard too!
There was a nice fire pit for s'mores.
They went to a fish hatchery and were able to catch and release fish.
They went to a little zoo and were able to pet and feed animals.
They took a canoe ride down the Manistee River.
They went horseback riding.
Harper's horse kept going off trail to snack.

They took a ferry to Mackinac Island.
They marked heights on the Stark cabin wall.
Alex has marks on the wall from years of trips here. I have one too!
We drove up to Cedar Mountain Friday afternoon.
Home sweet home for the weekend!
Gus the raccoon paid us a visit.
S'mores are the best!
Happy Father's Day weekend!
We went on a hike Saturday morning. These were all the kids!
The whole group!
