July 4th Weekend in Elk Rapids

Over the 4th we took a trip to Elk Rapids. This is the second year we have went up for the 4th and we love it! We spend every day on the beach. Jenna and Lydia on Lake Michigan.

Taylor and Grace floating on their rafts.


Most of the kids in the pool at the camp site. At times it was crazy, but the kids all had a blast together. Woolman girls, Beamer girls, Smith girls, Bells, Wallbergs and Linsley's!
Team Davison getting ready for the Olympics. Watch out next year we are ready!
Brad and Tay starting the pizza box race.
Dave and Jenni preparing to start the sack races.
Dave got the win for largest bubble, with a measurement of 6 inches.

Tug of war. The other teams thought we had an advantage with too many men, but we got our butt kicked, it might have been the 4 little girls.

Sunday night we took the kids to Shanty Creek to enjoy the fireworks. Before the fireworks the girls played in the jump houses, danced to live music and enjoyed a BBQ.  Tay and Grace on the top of the bounce house slide. All of the kids LOVED the fireworks, we were so close, they were right above us.
After the beach on the 4th Jenni and I took the girls for ice cream in town. What a cute group of girls!
While the guys golfed us girls made dinner and started a fire for the kids. We had smores and did sparklers at the camp on the 4th.

Gus, Jenna, Autumn and Colton waiting for smores.

We just love Honcho Rest and look forward to spending a lot more time there if we can! Thank you for everything last weekend. Even the unexpected repair help.
