Today got off to a slow start. Mom has been having issues with her migraines for over a month now and this morning was no exception. While she waited for medication to kick in the family spent some time around the camp ground. She got video of all 3 kids and Dad jumping on the campground's jump pad. It made her smile through the pain.
Once things were stable in terms of her head, they all headed out to Gettysburg again. First stop was the pharmacy to pick a Rx Mom had her doctor call in since she forgot one of the back-up medications. From there they went to the visitor center. After doing the math, they got a membership to the museum. Ironically, they did not go into the museum today. They went into the movie and the cyclorama. The film was just the right length for the youngsters and explained the 3 days of battle well. From there they headed to the cyclorama. Unsure of what the big deal was about this painting, Mom did not know what to expect. It really was amazing. 377 ft in circumference and 42 feet tall -- it was pretty amazing. They had lights that went off behind the canvas to make it look like the battle was going. They could have stayed longer to take it in but the staff had them move on.
From there, they started the auto tour. It was VERY hot out so reading some of the plaques from the truck with the a/c on high made it bearable when there was no shade. You hear how many people were there at the battle but until you start to see all the monuments to the battalions, etc. You just don't get the full impact. You see the open fields and remember that it was littered with bodies and red from blood. It is not something you can imagine...
At this point stomachs were getting hungry and the family returned to the camper. You think they would have greeted me but Riley and Aidan got straight into their swimsuits and ran off to the pool. Mom and Jane took books to read pool side. Dad stayed here to start cooking dinner.
The family seems to be glad that they planned several days here. You could cram a lot more into one day but you would be so exhausted at the end of those days you would have a harder time taking it all in. Mom is pretty sure they still will not get to experience all they could. But, since they bought a membership perhaps they will come back in the winter to experience some holiday items around here.
The family is turning in early tonight -- or at least they are going to try to. They want to take a day trip to Washington D.C. It was supposed to be a surprise for the kids but they are able to ask Dad just the right questions and watch his face and figure things out.

Gettysburg -- Day 1
Today the family took off nice and early (well that is relative, I guess) and traveled out toward Gettysburg. It was about six and half hours of me bouncing around in the camper. I am not sure why they think it is fair for them to ride in the truck and leave me in the camper. I thought I was a member of the family! They were up there playing a scavenger hunt and license plate games. I had to laugh though at the kids. Mom gave them maps of the USA to use to mark the license plates they found. Riley realized that Mom was sneaking school into the mix. Serves them right for making me ride in the camper for the entire trip.
The campground of choice this time is the Gettysburg KOA. It seems like a nice place. Mom and Dad got the camper set up and in place and then took the kids to the Gettysburg Vistor Center. Riley was not pleased with this idea given they were on the road so long. And when they got there they found school groups taking over the store. They decided to come back in the morning when hopefully lines would be shorter so they could actually make their purchases. After all, Mom wants to get her white oval for the bumper and a patch or two for their memory blanket.
Next, Mom and Dad made it worth Riley's while to go back out by taking them all to Mr. G's Ice Cream. Mom said they did not have a huge selection but the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough was worth it. It was odd though. There were 3 ice cream shops within 500 feet of each other. The family walked a little further and found 3 more ice cream shops. In the busy time they must all do well due to vast numbers. There were more ice cream shops there than any city has Walgreen's or Starbucks. But, Mr. G's had the best ratings and we all know that Dad goes by ratings!
They briefly stopped into the Jenny Wade store to ask some questions and while they were there Aidan found some miniature glass animals and helped Mom picked one out for her collection. She got what they think is a moose or a reindeer. No one is sure. I just know it is not the mouse that Aidan was hoping she would pick.
After that they walked around a little more and the kids groaned with each plaque that Dad stopped to read. (Yep, this should be a fun trip... LOL ) They then headed back to the campground. The boys jumped in the pool for a few minutes before it closed. Mom and Dad looked at all the materials they collected in hopes of mapping out a plan for tomorrow. Then they found giant chess and connect four games to play. Aidan and Mom even played giant checkers.
At this point the family was exhausted and took showers and came in to play board games and watch a movie. Not too much adventure for the day but still a fun day nonetheless. Everyone needs to rest for tomorrow. It looks like the family is going to do the auto tour!

2016 in a nutshell
So, Mom gave me a year off. She says it takes a lot of work for me to write about trips. So, she gave me a break. Now the problem is that she regrets her decision. She wishes she had me write about all the trips in 2016. So guess what, now I have to summarize the year so that I can start up again in 2017. I wonder if she realizes that it might in fact be more work to do it this way. In any case, I am sure I will not remember everything. But here are the highlights...
We traveled to several of our "usual" places in 2016. Mohican State Park and East Harbor State Park were visited as usual. No surprise that Jane, Riley and Aidan were very insistent about only rafting during DAYLIGHT hours. They would not think of going rafting at all close to dusk. There is still some trauma over the rafting failure of 2015. In fact, every year the kiddos get Christmas ornaments that reflect something they want to remember for the year. They went to a Christmas store that has ornaments you can pick and then have personalized for free. Riley chose an ornament that had a little boy on a raft and then had them personalize it to say "2015 Worst Rafting Trip Ever"! LOL But, they do still love Mohican State Park as a destination.
In addition to the usual places, there were a couple new places added to the list. The big trip of 2016 was to Sleeping Bear Dunes. If you have never been there, it sounds like a bucket list item. Mom HATES sand, but was willing to walk these beaches. I heard Mom and Dad mention several times that Lake Michigan was beautiful. They said the water reminded them of the Caribbean. I have not been there myself to compare so I will have to trust them on this one. I do have to say no one thought it could look so clear and pretty. It does even seem like Lake Erie could be part of the same system of Lakes! Of course the trip up to that part of Michigan was not all fun... towing the camper on a dirt road that was so full of potholes that Dad could not tow faster than 5 to 10 miles an hour made him a little grumpy. Good thing they found a way home to avoid that road!
Jane liked shopping in Traverse City. She seems to like tourist locations. Her poor brothers do not always appreciate her desire to shop. But, once the family found Cherry Republic all was good. Cherry republic has samples! The boys rarely turn down samples! It is amazing what they will put cherries in! Mom found cherry pies. While that is not a big deal, she ate one. That IS a big deal. Just like she does not like sand, she does not like cherries either. But she had been told by friends that the cherries in Michigan were a must to try. She, of course, bought a slice that had cherries and other berries in it. I think she liked it becasue she was sad when the next Cherry Republic they found did not have pies at it!
Hiking the dunes themselves is an experience like no other. (Dune Climb Information) Mom and Dad saw others barefoot climbing the dunes so they told Jane, Riley, and Aidan that they could leave their shoes in the car and hike barefoot. Standing at the bottom of the dune the hill looked monstrous. Mom figured making it up that hill would be the hard part and then they would see Lake Michigan from the top and it would be a cool accomplishment. So up tehy climbed... now I should point out that Mom and the kids are pale.. pasty even. They wore their swim suits and started the climb but seeing it was early morning they did not wear sun screen (do you see where this is going?) the climb up the first portion of the dune was intense and felt straight up. Once the family reached the top of the big start they saw a smaller climb. They took a breather and then headed up further. But, once they crested the top, Mom's excitement fell. In the distance behind this "dune" was another. Determined to see Lake Michigan, the family trucked on. As they crested this hill they saw... well you can guess... yes ANOTHER hill. Riley and Aidan were jumping off small ridges along the way.. Jane on the other hand was hot and had enough. There was whining and gnashing of teeth. At this point Mom and the kids stopped to rest under a lone tree. The tree was small and it reminded Mom of Jonah sitting under the shade of his plant waiting for Nineveh to be blasted away. Dad went on ahead. Mom, being social started asking people coming back down the dunes how much further it would be. What she learned took the wind out of her sails. She was standing next to a marker that had the number 3 on it. It was explained that these markers indicated the "crests" that you had gone over. At marker 8 you would be able to SEE the lake off in the distance. At marker, 32 you would be at the lake!!! This was NOT what they thought it would be. It was at this point that Mom decided that they would stay in the minimal shade of the tree and wait to Dad to return to them. She then heard other children asking their children how much further. She began to share her new found information with other mom's. She began to see other families turn around and go back. As they waited for Dad the boys resumed their jumping into the sand below a little ridge they found.
Now, once Dad returned to them they started the return trip. You might think it was all easy going but the way the dunes work is that they have little valleys in between them. This is how you keep thinking you are at the last dune only to find that when you crest it you are faced with another one off in the distance. So in order to get back you had to walk these valleys and walk up the back side of the dunes you already have traversed. At least the big hill was only down but the hike back was not going to be a simple one. About the time they crested the last hill before the downward slope they family learned the error of their ways. Now the sun was high in the sku and this beautiful sand was burning HOT! Each and every stop BURNED as they walked down the dune. Once Mom reached the bottom she told families in the parking lot to go back for shoes for at least their toddlers. It seemed that Mom was the informant for other mom's out there. :D
Once they reached the truck Mom just wanted to sit in tehe air conidtioning and rest. But that was not to be. She now learned the error of her ways further. Remember me saying they were pale and they forgot sunscreen. Well the back on Mom's swimsuit left a lot of her back exposed. She was beyond burnt. Blisters were already forming. Mom would be in pain for the next several days, coating herself in aloe frequently!
Another place I want to tell you about in Hocking Hills. The family has decided they LOVE it there. Old Man's Cave and the hikes around there are just beyond beautiful. Mom would like to go down and do the winter hike of Old Man's Cave. Mom says that I can skip all the details of that trip because it is on the list for 2017. But, if you have not been there it is another bucket list item. A great aspect of Hocking Hills is that there is so much tree cover and caves to hike in that you are protected from some of the sun and heat. Look for the Hocking Hills update later in the year!
And finally, the family added Cedar Point to their list. While they have gone before, they had never camped AT Cedar Point before. The campsite literally had a roller coaster behind it. Between that and the fact that Point Fest was going on that weekend (Who would not want to hear TobyMac as you walked to and from your camper?? :) ) This one was such a hit, it too is one the list for 2017. So, watch for a trip report on that one as well. :

Spontaneous Trip 2 -- Surprise... one more this year! October 30th
Well, I thought we were done for the year. Dad told the kids we were done for the year. They cleaned the black water tank extra good... Dad even put antifreeze in the lines. But they decided that they would go one more time to Cedar Point for Halloween Weekends since they had passes and well the kids wanted to see the haunted stuff one more time. You can't even reserve many of the normally reservable spots at East Harbor. There is not even anyone at the gate when you come in. You have to "self register". On Friday nights in October Cedar Point does not open until 6p so they had time to park the camper and get things set up before heading out. Again, they did not even bother with water and sewer (couldn't really since the winterization was done...). It was another "cheap hotel" trip. It was only one night... shortest trip the family ever took.
The family went to the park and rode many of their favorite rides one last time. The sad part is that some of the kid's absolute favorite rides were not open Friday nights in October and they were not coming back Saturday. The kids were so sad... :( After riding what they could and braving the cold they headed back a little early and had a nice night together in the camper. They said good-bye to me for the season... (apparently I get the privilege of "guarding" the camper from mice over the winter... Mom knows I will not do anything to protect the camper but she told me I am safer in storage than being moved around the house by the kids all winter...) they said good-bye to camping for the season. I heard them talking about next year... it sounds like there could be some great adventures for me to write about next year! Look forward to, Lord willing, telling you all about it next year....
Halloween Weekend at East Harbor 2015
East Harbor State Park has the first two weekends in October set aside for their Halloween weekends. They have hay rides, a haunted forest, a haunted tunnel, a prison where you can have a family or friend "arrested" and put in there for $1 every 15 minutes (which serves as a fund raiser for the park) and a bone fire. Not to mention the trick-or-treating frenzy. If you think trick-or-treating in a community with row houses produces a lot of candy, you should go to a camp ground with super small lots and see how much you can do in that time. Apparently, my new family tries to go to one of these weekends when they can. The kids were looking forward to it and talking about it for quite some time before we went. They planned costumes and who they would arrest for a while.
The one draw back for this particular trip is that the weather plays a big part in it. Some years the weather is like an extension of summer. Other years it is cold. And then there are the years it is cold and RAINY! This year was one of those. The family intended to go to Cedar Point one more time while they were up that way but the weather forecast did not make it sound like they would be able to do both Cedar Point and the campground activities and they would have to choose. Since they had already gotten plenty of use from the yearly pass at this point, they chose to stay in the park for the weekend. Hay rides, etc happen both Friday and Saturday night. Dad was watching the forecast like a hawk and determined that if they wanted to be able to do those things they better plan on Friday night. So, that is what they did. They did the hay ride and the haunted walks. Unfortunately, high winds cancelled the bone fire for the night but, they did had a great time. They also made their usual trek around the park to see the decorations that everyone put up. Mom was so surprised -- a vast portion of the campground was EMPTY -- this NEVER happens on Halloween weekends. Assuming the impending weather had a part to play in that they headed in for the night.
The next day started out ok. The kids gathered some other kids up from neighboring campsites and they played a giant game of sharks and minnows. They even got Mom and Dad to join in. Time for trick-or-treating arrived and they got ready. Despite the emptiness of the campground the kids still filled their buckets. They did not offer me any! I saw Mom and Dad sneak some from their buckets... But at the very end of trick-or treating time... it rained. And it rained. And it rained. It rained enough that the park canceled the hay rides. They canceled the haunted walks. They cancelled the prison. And, between the wind and the rain they canceled the bonfire. Dad had been right. If they were going to do those things Friday was indeed the night to do them. Mom was thankful for his constant checking of the weather since they got to do the fun things while they could.
As they were packing up to go home, my previous family's Dad found Mom. They said "Hello" and had a nice chat with each other. As always, it was sad to pack up and go home. It was super sad since they said this was the last trip of the year. Everyone hates it when it is the last trip of the year. The family really seems to hate to see it go... :(
Spontaneous Trip 1 -- September 25 - 27
As Jane's actual birthday approached the family was honoring their usual tradition. The birthday child gets to decide where to spend their birthday. In years past, places like Chuck E. Cheese and skyzone were frequented. This year, knowing that they had season passes to Cedar Point (it was a Christmas gift in 2014), Jane chose to spend her special day with the family at Cedar Point. They had already gone a month earlier with her friend (they went early since the park would be decorated for Halloween on her birthday and in case her friend's family was not ok with that they went before prime decorating happened) but she wanted to spend the time with her family at the park. They got there in the dark and Dad was not happy. Apparently, from the sounds of things, backing the camper in a spot in the dark is not easy! He was able to do it but it took longer than he likes. No one made a big deal about setting up the camper this time. I am not sure I even got to emerge from storage on this trip. They plugged in power but did not bother hooking up sewer and water. The whole point of these nights at East Harbor State Park were a "cheap hotel" as mom calls it. A way to be closer to Cedar Point to get there near opening hours and a safe place to drive when it closes late rather than driving all the way home.
The morning of Jane's birthday they all got up and headed to the Point. They spent the entire day there. They must have had fun because they came home late and went straight to bed again. When they got up in the morning they packed up and headed home. Another short trip but they seem to be having a great time together. Aidan did NOT like the fact that this trip did not include any playground time or board games or other "family" things. Dad reassured him the next trip would be different and this one was just a birthday celebration. Wait, did Dad say, "next trip"?? It is almost October and these people are not done yet! I wonder where they will take me next...
Birthday Trip -- August 28th - 30th
Apparently my sister, Jane, has a birthday coming up next month. I know this because my family took the family along with a friend of hers on a camping trip to East Harbor State Park. According to Aidan, it is the first time they have ever taken a friend camping with them that has staying the camper with them. He was pretty excited about that and it was not even his birthday trip!
Jane wanted to take a friend to Cedar Point in lieu of a party. So, my family reserved a spot and took her and a friend up there. They had a blast. Jane had had such a hard time choosing just the right friend for the trip. She did not want to pick some one with an adventure level above her own. They might be bored with her lack of thrill seeking. She spent a couple weeks dropping "hints" to friends about rides at Cedar Point until she was sure she picked the perfect one. Well, it turned out that she underestimated her friend's willingness to try new things. Mom ended up riding some rides with the friend so she could say that she rode some things. Being from a larger family, the friend did not always have the opportunity to got to Cedar Point and she was going to make the most of it! :D
They stayed until the park was closing. It was a great and LONG day. No one bothered to say, "Hello" to me on the way in the camper that evening. They all just crashed in bed and were asleep the moment their heads hit the pillow.
The next morning we all hung around the camp ground. The girls had fun on scooters. The boys enjoyed tormenting the girls by following them around and playing on the playground. Board games were played and general fun was had. They took Jane's friend on a trip to their favorite ice cream shop in the area, Toft's. If you are in the Sandusky area you should try it out. Just beware, a small is like 3 scoops!!
It was a short trip and there is not much else to report but it was fun. Aidan wanted to stay longer... actually we all did!
