Twin Mills Campground

We woke up at the Walmart in Michigan and after some errands we drove to a near=by park so the kids could burn off some energy.  It was a very nice kids park but I found it a little odd.  Directly across the street was an old cemetery.  I guess for those buried there the grass is really greener on the other side of the street.  We then headed back into Illinois and found a huge campground called Twin Mills.  It's a very nice campground but it is the most expensive campground we have stayed at ($42 per night).   We will only be here one night.  We did take a nice walk to the near-by river.  The kids had a great time climbing across a log that had fallen over the river.  I was pretty sure one of them was going to fall in, but they all made it out dry.
Sterling has invented and perfected a new sport.  It is called rip-stick football.  He is amazingly good at it!  You throw him a pass and he can go after it and catch it while riding his rip-stick.  We finished the night off with a campfire.
Since we don't have any pictures of the day I thought I would post the beginning of a game we have been playing.  We have been searching all over the US for our friends and families names in lights.  We have found a few so far,  if yours is not one of them, don't worry, we have a long way to go.  Love you all!
