Goodhue Camping Trip 2012

 We had our 5th annual Goodhue Family Camping Trip this year from August 1-5th.  It was Mom's turn to plan it is we went to Straits State Park in St. Ignance.  We also had an extra family this year, my friend Sarah, Cory, Kadence & Kendalyn came too since they live about 3 hours away.  It was so great to see them!
 Megan cooking bacon!
 Joe cooking eggs, they had the first breakfast!
 We were close to the playground on the campground!  Max loved swinging!
 The campers!

 On August 2nd we took the ferry over to Mackinac Island.

 Our group on the island
 We also climbed the hill up to Fort Mackinac
 It was a very steep hill, not a good idea to push a stroller up there!

 Relaxing!
 We took the Children's tour at the fort where we learn what kid of toys the kids on the island used to play with, then we got our turn!

 Last year we added a Scavenger Hunt to the camping fun!  Me, Kenzie & Kayla were the winners last year.  Beth decided we needed to have trophy to make things more competitive so here is is!
 This year was Benny's first time camping, since last year we went right before he was born!  He loved it!
