Our 1st evening we attempted a pizza roll that was cooked in foil over the fire. The Pinterest photo we was working off of was this:
And after wrangling 4 of these over our fire....this is what we ended up with.
While I'm not sure you can call it a wild success, it was not too bad....and made for a lot of fun and laughs!
The weather was beautiful and even though Lake Michigan bordered on frigid everyone had a great time on the beach with sandcastles, playing in the water, and several spirited rounds of bocce ball.
And then there was the "I hate to be cold and wet" person who was content to read his book in the shade.
The Fourth was spent in St. Joseph. Silver Beach was CRAZY crowded. But after braving the beach front crowd for a little while we had our fill of ice cream and settled in on the hill overlooking the beach to watch the fireworks. Got to take in a patriotic concert and cheer on a crowd of our proud veterans.
After the beautiful sunset it was time to wait for the show...and wait...and wait..... Fireworks began at 10:50!!!! OK, so St. Joe, you put on a good party, but why so late?
Our campground had a pie eating contest for the kid campers. Our bunch cleaned up...literally!
And then there was the Pinterest find that actually worked! Glow stick bowling. Only we forgot the ball and had to invent a new game. Glow stick potato bowling!
