The last of our short 2 weeks!

Off to glamorous South Bend Indiana


So off to the South Bend Silverhawks. Pete found us a State Park and we were on our way. The park is beautiful and a bit of a maze! We had to replace our tent when we left Toledo because we blew out the zipper on the door. It's too bad, it was a great tent and we still could have used it if we wanted to climb in and out of the window, but we decided to give ourselves an early anniversary present! We struggled with the shape of the tent, but we love the screen porch element of the new tent.

The park was very nice. There was a beach and we saw a whole family of racoons! It was pretty funny. They scattered when they saw us and the babies were stranded until mom came and herded them all back into the brush. The beach was separated into regular and dog sections so we were able to take the pups down to splash around a little. The game was a pretty good time, the park is a little bit of a cinder-block, but the game was fun.







The final leg of our vacation - 4th of July camping at outside Beloit with Mom, Dad, Dominic, Brenden and Madi. It was an adventure!

We had a blast at the beach, but the mosquitoes in the campground were horrible. We all went to a Snappers game on the 4th but I got a call during the bottom of the 7th to let us know that our dogs had broken out of the tent and were running around the campground. So Dad and I had to drive back and coral them. At least we saw the fireworks from the highway on the way back. Thank goodness we were headed home for a little vacation break, we discovered that our new tent was a piece of crap and our grill broke!

But, just because Pete is going back to work doesn't mean the summer vacation ends! It's just limited to the weekends for a bit!
