Two weeks worth of Superior memories.

It's a long way to Copper Harbor. Did it in two days going and coming home. Big Yahoo
Saw way to much corn and soybeans growing. But...loved every minute of watching the wind farms working mostly in northern Indiana.
Listening to Andrew rationalizing that he needed to play with his cousins! Please, please.
All 4 kids playing in the sand around the fire pit. No fire in the pit! Good idea.
Having breakfast of pancakes at the old folks tent! Love those grandsons! and their parents. Yahoo, and yahoo.
I think we use 6 boxes of pancake mix and some Kimmy Packets during the two weeks along with jarsssss (how many????)of syrup.
Having all the campers minus sleeping Noah and Kat staying with sleeping Noah on the Central Mine. We found a huge bone that we think is part of a bear backbone. Andrew has it.
Hearing a loon and someone spotted bald eagles and a porcupine and a deer but no bears.
Meeting up at the icecream shop in the evening. Yum, yum. Watching the kids play on the icecream truck and running down the hill. Then hearing them play icecream store at our campsites.
Visiting with George and Breanda.
Hearing Andrew play 4 icecream "drum" at the campsite.
Visiting at the pot shot. Thanks Leslie and Dennis. Christmas is coming kids.
Eating at the Pines...who wants to cook!
Eating smoked fish on the pier watching the gulls and boats come and go.
Hiking over to the stony beach.
Playing with the kids at Great Sand Bay.
Stopping at the Jam Pot for cookies
Getting Pastys at Tonys and the Jam Pot...Toaster Oven comes in handy for the frozen ones.
During the rain storm watching Adam soak his head in the rain pouring off our dining fly.
Adam eating rocks. Crazy boy.
Eli taking everything in.
Noah looking through his dining fly eating his meals watching Grandma and Grandpa and smiling ALL the time.
Checking out the first hole in Jacob's mouth. The tooth fairy brought a GOLD dollar. That tooth fairy goes everywhere.
Watching Andrew take off on his bike near the end of the two weeks wanting to do it again and again.
Attending a WONDERFUL quilt history lecture at St. Ann's in Calumet. That really was worth while.
Reading 6 books. Some absolutely worthless and some as mind engaging as the Shack.
Knitting more baby hats for babies in Kenya.
Listening and watching Battery D at the fort. Not a favorite of Andrews for sure.
Reading the Mining Gazette that had absolutely little news for anyone but the local folks. Well the lift bridge did get stuck which made the headlines for three days. That's a pretty important bridge if you need to get to Houghton!
The kids eating Grandpa's Poptarts.
Some nights were a little warm but most were a little cool. Sleeping bags came in handy.
Watching the sun set on Brockway mt.
Listening to all the comments about my kitchen...Micro wave...toaster oven...electric skillet...electric water heating pot... But...the kids used the micro wave and toaster oven and the electric skillet made pancakes every morning and the water heated made washing dishes easier.
I love electricity. I camped without it for far to long.
Watching Eric and Jared race to see who could get to the wood left by campers as they departed the campgrounds. That has been going on since they were very little.

It was a fabulous two weeks particularly with having Eric and Jared with their families. Never a dull moment. We packed up about 5 hrs after they left and went in to town...got a motel room because of the roomer that Sunday was to be a full day of rain...(didn't happen). Packing up in the rain is not fun. Been there and done that!!! I imagine the bed at King Copper was the next thing to heaven! Air mattress are great but beds are better. And the floor is flat! We had Breakfast at the Pines and then on to eventually Indy. Love that Lake!

I took with me a bum knee. I was a bit worried but it all worked out fairly well with my trusty cane which was used ALL the time. I probably didn't walk as much but I did do what I wanted to do. Couldn't have done it without the cane which I have named Miss Clavel. She looked after Madeline and is now looking after me. I get a bit upset when I can't find her. LR
