Camping in Holland

Steve and I wanted to take Katelyn camping this summer and decided to stay close to home in Holland. We had a nice site in the Lake Macatawa campground. Uncle Wes loaned us his pop-up trailer at the last minute because Dad's had some maintenance issues.

We had beautiful weather. We enjoyed the short bike ride to the state park. We walked on the pier and showed Katelyn "Big Red". We watched boats go through the channel. We went on the swing at the beach. I didn't do a lot of camp cooking--we went out to the Windmill for breakfast and got some cinamon rolls from DeBoer bakery. We also enjoyed a dune dog and Fricano's pizza. We walked downtown on Friday night and Katelyn played in the splash pad.

Katelyn got a special hat at the hot dog stand

She loves to swing

Saturday was stormy, but we spent time at the outlets, the mall play area, and Barnes andNoble. We had lunch at a favorite, China Inn North.

Saturday was also our 6 year wedding anniversary. We decided to eat at Ottawa Beach Inn and had just started our salads when Katelyn threw up all over herself and the table. We rushed out of there and she got sick a few more times. Dad and Mom came to help us pull the trailer back because our hitch wouldn't carry both the bike rack and the trailer. I called the pediatrician because I had a feeling the vomiting was related to constipation. Once home, Katelyn pooped and said "I feel better now, mama". We hopefully won't have to deal with that problem in the future with daily doses of Miralaax. I am glad we decided to stay close to home! We still made good memories and enjoyed spending time together as a family.
