Christmas Camping in July

We have had another year of family camping in Manistee.  While camping is not my favorite thing to do, I always look forward to spending time with the Hoeksemas and getting some good cousin time in.  There was good food, plays put on by little people, splashing in puddles, digging in the sand, hikes to the beach, and lots of love to go around.  Thanks again to John and Marjory for hosting such a special event each year.  We are so lucky to spend those days together making memories for years to come.
