Copper Harbor 2015 - Day 1

We're in the UP!

At the Hilltop

YUMMY!

The stone boat

Pebble beach

Picking blueberries

Jared and I were up at 2:30. Eli woke up when he saw the lights on and said, "I'm so excited about the tunnels!" Soon Adam was up too and they woke up Jacob. We were on the road by 3:15. Jacob and Eli slept some on the way to the UP but Adam stayed awake. We woke the boys when we got close to the Mackinaw bridge. We got out at the gas station to stretch and had pop tarts for breakfast. The boys watched Chip n Dale and How to train your Dragon episodes. Jared was getting tired so I took over driving for about 1 1/2 hrs. I was glad Jared got some rest. In L'ance we stopped at the Hilltop restaurant for sweet rolls and chocolate milk. Eli was done with the sweet roll after a couple bites and had fun coloring. We got out in Kearsarge to play on the stone boat. We arrived in Copper Harbor around 2pm and took a drive around the campground before checking in. The boys were a lot of help with unpacking the van.  They put things in separate piles for the tent and dining fly.  We spent the next several hours setting up camp and got done around 6pm. We had sandwiches for dinner and then  took a walk over to Pebble beach. We forgot to take Norman with us so Jared ran back to get him - whoops. The boys had fun playing on the beach and throwing rocks in the water. Eli found lots of nice rocks and put them in his backpack to save. We hiked the trail by the beach while Jacob and Adam walked by the water. Then we all hiked the trail back. Adam and I took a bike ride around the campground before bed. We went to bed early tonight and Daddy started reading Huckleberry Finn.
