porkies.

what a wonderful first time tent-camping as a family of four! the drive to the porcupine mountains in the UP was simple, the quiet campground with a lakeside spot was restful (with the short exception of a near-miss with a skunk! he strolled within 10ft of lj, before realizing his poor choice in route... whew! it was a close one!), the chance to be outside 24/7 in the dirt & beauty was refreshing, the rocks for throwing in the lake & building towers were abundant, the beach was surprisingly delightful (a little stream full of frogs & older friends to teach us how to catch them? hard to beat it...), the short hike was family-perfect, and the frequent bike rides to the restroom were not only the most fun, but built such confidence in our little girl! this was definitely a trip for the memory books! :)
