Smoke

Since I was at the camp out on my birthday, we had cake when we got home. Hailey insisted on the appropriate number of candles. I managed to blow out all but 3, the smoke was too much. The cake won this year!!

Camp Out With The Boy Scouts

For the long three-day weekend I went on a camp out/ski trip with Nathan’s Boy Scout Group. We went to Camp Rotary in Clair Michigan. The boy’s took care of everything, cooking, cleaning, and planning. It was a relaxing trip. On Saturday we snowboarded. On Sunday we tubed.



”Deer Lodge.” The cabin slept about 50.

New Years

This year for new years we decided to stay home and have friends over. It was fun night.

North for Christmas

The Third leg of our Christmas travels was up north to Mom and Lou’s house. It was nice to see them and celebrate Christmas with them.






There are a few pictures of the woods as well on my personal blog ( www.coreysplayground.com )

Christmas at home

For Christmas Eve we went to church and then had my dad and Sharon over. It was a nice evening. In the morning we opened presents and headed for Amy’s folks. Santa was good to the kids this year.
