Michigan

We made it to Michigan without too many difficulties. This drive sure made the drive to Horseshoe Lakes Indiana a breeze. We went to a campground that is with an affiliated resort through RPI. The name of the resort is Bear Cave and is near Buchanan, MI. This resort has an actual cave on the property and a bit of known Indian history. Now, if you are looking at our route so far, it doesn't look exactly like someone was paying attention to where they were going. I have to admit that was the case. This should have been our first stop and not our second. But hey, we are brandnew at this. If we started out knowing everything and not making any mistakes, then we would be mighty boring know-it-alls. (at least that is what we are telling ourselves).
We found a campsite we liked but we ended up moving because behind us was the St Joseph River and not much of a divider. We were a little concerned that the kids (mainly the boys) would not stop their bikes before rolling down the hill and right into the river. Thankfully though, we hadn't set up anything and moving was easy. We moved over just a bit where we could see the river and the playground and we were near the bathouse (all important items in our family). We set up a lot quicker than our first time and the girls really pitched in too. We knew (mostly) what needed to be done and what order to do those things in. The only problem we can see are the lack of bars on the cell phone and air card. The boys hit the park right away which was really nice. They could play to their hearts content without us having to be right their with them. There are also lots of kids here and they made friends instantly. The boys are really having a blast.
We went swimming the second day we were here. The pool is a lot bigger than the pool in Indiana but it does seem to be a bit colder. Randy and I skipped out on the swimming. Well, Randy actually found some shade and an outlet so he could work. The kids seem to be really loving it here and absolutely no complaints. I will post more later. I hope everyone is doing well.
