fall camping

I know that most people think we're crazy to go camping this time of year, but it's the best time by far. You have the whole campground to yourselves, it's cold at night but just cold enough to be toasty under a load of blankets and layers, and the fire is nice and warm instead of making you sweat. Granted we're probably not going to go for a night swim, but the crisp cool air makes up for that.

That said, we're taking the youth group camping tonight. We're staying tonight but plan to be back before noon tomorrow for the annual Michigan-Michigan State football game. We're not going ANYWHERE near campus thank goodness... this is one of the times I'm thankful for TV. :-)
