Fourth of July, Lake Walloon

July 3, 2014
One of the few vacations we take is a trip to Michigania Family camp. This is a one week camp on Lake Walloon in Northern Michigan. For us, this has meant celebrating July 4th at camp. Sometimes the camp celebration is on July 3rd or July 5th due to details of the camp schedule. This post is a retrospective of some pictures from July 4th celebrations at camp.

Our first year camping as a family, and July 4th was our first full day of camp. It was very hot, and Aaron -- then 2 years old -- was already a ball of sweat when I took this photo of him trying on my sunglasses. In the background is the old dining hall.

Elianna was 14 months old. The heat broke just in time for the parade.

July 4th was the last day of camp in 2008. This is Elianna at the closing ceremony, overlooking the lake.

Aaron doesn't usually get his face painted, but when he does it's probably July 4th.

Michigania just passed its 50th anniversary and has been collecting memories from campers. These are some of our memories.
