Our trip didn't get off to the best start - there was a little bit of car trouble. But the minivan got on the road, the kids, mom, Mooch and I - with Jason not far behind pulling the camper. We had a little scare with Mooch - he got some sort of bug bites that caused him to start swelling - I tried to take a photo, but apparently I was shaking too badly to get a clear shot. After some Benedryl - which in case you were wondering the correct dosage for dogs is one mg per lb - he ended up being ok and by the next day the swelling had gone down. We spent the actual 4th at Lake Michigan watching the fireworks - the kids were troopers. We were at the beach all day, fireworks at dark, then the long walk back to the car. Another day trip was spent at a local (well, an hour away) dairy farm. Fresh ice cream - mmmmm. Finally, we spent a day in Traverse City at the Cherry Festival. The kids and I talked Papa into a cherry pie eating contest - he gave it a good try but got beat out by a local news reporter and was on the local five o'clock news! It was a really fun trip, but boy did we appreciate our air conditioning when we got home!
