Camping

Immediately after we got back we headed for Sleeper State Park. It is in the "thumb" of Michigan. Tyler's Paxton side had a reunion.

Sadly. There are no pictures. It was too hot. And sandy. Literally I felt like I was going to die or puke it was so hot. I had to wet a washcloth and put it over my face so I could feel some relief from the heat. But the beach during the day was really nice and the heat wasn't too bad. There was a nice breeze coming off the water.

After sleeping there three nights we came home for two and then left again for Palmyra, NY. There are some church history sites there that we really enjoyed. We also met some friends there. We tent camped in our new tent! The campsite was great, and the new tent worked out really well. Amazon didn't let us down in their reviews!

 

Obsessed with flashlights.



And made himself right at home by the campfire.



Our new set up.



There was this giant bubble the kids could jump on at the campground. Super fun.









The next morning we went to the Sacred Grove. This is where Joseph Smith prayed and then saw Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. It is really quiet and special.











The Palmyra temple is right down the street. By this point Ava was having too much fun. :)



And last but not least we went to the place where the Book of Mormon was first published. It was beautiful. If we ever have a library I will paint it the exact same.
