For the second year in a row, Esther celebrated her birthday at Northern Exposure Campground near Mesick while we were on our church camping trip. We had a beautiful weekend and spent lots of time playing on the playground, swimming, digging in the sand, eating, and having fun with friends. We even visited an Alpaca Ranch with a couple of the other families. What we did not do much of was sleep. Two of the three nights were quite rough, and the final night Peter was up from 1:30-5:30 am! He thought it was great fun driving to Cadillac with Daddy and watching a video in the tent in the middle of the night. We were not so thrilled, but just tried to keep him happy so he wouldn't wake up Esther and the kids on the site next to us!
Friday was Esther's 3rd birthday, so she opened a couple gifts and we went to get ice cream. Unfortunately for Peter, he decided to sleep all the way to the ice cream store and missed out on his treat. Some of our friends sang "Happy Birthday" to her at our group dinner as well.
All in all, we had a wonderful time camping and celebrating Esther's 3rd birthday. Now we just have to catch up on our sleep!

After reading about Peter's late night escapade, Mike has said this confirms his desire to NEVER camp. Oh well!
