The McIntyre’s drove their RV from California to Kentucky. We hung out for a two days in Kentucky before caravanning with them and the Lesmeisters up to Lake Charlevoix to see the Hansens. <\/p>\n\n\n

The Hansens were gracious hosts. They have a beautiful property on Lake Charlevoix with kayaks, a water trampoline, a regular trampoline, paddle boards, jet skis, and a pontoon boat.<\/p>\n\n\n

There were ten kids, eight adults, and countless hours of laughing and playing. The kids were outside all day swimming in the lake, playing kickball and baseball, and jumping on the trampoline. We went tubing down the Boyne River, saw a parade and the northern lights!<\/p>\n\n\n
