Camp Dearborn.

I went to visit a friend on Monday. They are staying at Camp Dearborn for a week.

They have been doing this for years. I have missed the last year or two so it has been awhile.

I took the girls and they loved it. They really want to go there. I don't know if we can work it out this year or not. I have fond memories of Camp Dearborn. My family never camped there but we did take a lot of day trips there. I did camp there a few times with the family who lived across the street from us. It really hasn't changed much. The nice things is the kids can run around and play and do things on their own. They still do Chicken Fat in the morning. (exercises to a song called chicken fat) They still have the teen dances at the canteen each night. You can still paddle boat, or fish. two beaches for swimming and paved roads for bike riding. My youngest wants to go camping this summer so bad. Our big family tent broke during a boy scout trip this summer. So Camp Dearborn would be perfect because they supply the platform tents with a fridge and a cook top and electric. Also 6 beds per tent. (Camp cots really but at least it's not the ground)

No promises being made, if we do this then we won't go to six flags. You can rent the tents by the day but it is much cheaper by the week. Paul may not stay the whole time he may come back to work and just come up for both weekends.

We still have some camping going on. We still have a 2 man tent and the girls have been trying to camp in the backyard for over a week. It has either been to cold, or raining, or rain prediction.

So tonight is the night. They just finished setting up. I hope the bugs don't carry them away.
