Morice Camping 2008

July 4, 2008

(Some of you may be wondering why I’m still calling this a “camping trip” when we’re at Grandma’s house. Well, there are so many of us here, it’s easier for us to keep sleeping in the camper in the drive way. It’s so comfortable, we don’t mind at all!)
Today was a very busy day. First was….THE PARADE!

The kids had so much fun grabbing up the candy once they got the hang of it.




I believe the kids over 20 may have had the most fun of all! After the parade, both girls’ eyes were dragging so we all decided to crash for naptime.

We we woke, Grandpa said it was time to plant Nick’s tree.

Grandma and Grandpa bought a Honey Crisp apple tree that they wanted to plant in Door County to have a memory of Nick there, too. (Believe me, the whole place is filled with memories of him. This has been a hard place to visit and refrain from completely breaking down at regular intervals.) They chose a fruit tree because of all the fruit that Nick had shown in his life and they also made sure that it was 53 inches high which is how tall he is.

It was a beautiful and very hard moment all at the same time.



Grandma had bought a boat for the lake and Selah and Cody decided to watch the event from a coushy side seat.

Around 4:30pm, we set off to the beach. Of course fun was had by all there!



Once again, it was the over 20 crowd that seemed to benefit the most from the kid toys!
