12 Days of Christmas for Grandparents - one of the twelve gifts was a video of the kids singing - Brooke & Lindsay sang their own depressing rendition of We Wish You A Merry Christmas - take a look!

Pictured Rocks

Pictured Rocks located on Michigan's Upper Peninsula absolutely gorgeous.

Shauna, Brooke, Gary and I set out Wednesday, Aug 6 for the Mosquito Campsite.

Shauna - definitely the most experienced female backpacker of the group is famous for spectacular falls while fully "packed". We were on the trail less than 3 minutes when I heard a "splat" behind me - this is the result.
