Camping in Pentwater

Friday we packed up and headed out to Pentwater to camp for the weekend with Shawn, Erin, Owen and Erin's mom Marcia. Erin and Marcia were selling their jewelry at the arts/crafts show in Pentwater on Saturday and Sunday while the rest of us relaxed and played. The weather was actually quite nice in the mid 70's with a couple short showers, except for Sunday morning when there was a thunderstorm (nice timing for when we started to pack up). The campground we stayed at, Hill and Hollow, was very nice in that it had clean, well-maintained bathrooms (which is what I like) , a heated pool and it had an AJ's Fun Center at the entrance! We went swimming Friday night, but unfortunately I didn't take my camera. We also had to visit AJ's so the boys could try out a little mini golfing (they were free so we just let them play and followed along - talk about Dutch). Joshua and Owen both loved golfing, although Joshua looks more like he is playing hockey than golfing! The big boys were dying to drive the go-karts of course. Unfortunately, there was a brief shower right before we went over to AJ's Saturday night so the track was wet and they wouldn't let anyone race until it was dry. Fifteen minutes later the racing began! The big boys took the little boys for the first go around and Cory ended up hitting Shawn. While Shawn was not thrilled by this (can you say sibling rivalry?!?!) Joshua and Owen talked about it with excitement the rest of the weekend ! There was a rematch late at night under the lights when just Cory and Shawn raced. Sunday morning around 10 am there was a thunderstorm that rolled through just in time to delay packing up to go home. While Shawn and Cory ran around between raindrops packing what they could, Owen and Joshua curled up with a blanket and watched a movie. The sun came out just in time for lunch and for us to pull out and drive home. The only down-side to this weekend was a tired Joshua who skipped two naps - doesn't make for a happy camper, literally!
