Third Annual Ludington Trip

Well Rose and her three rugrats and I and my three rugrats just completed our third annual Ludington Trip and, as usual, we had a great time. This year we went on a rafting trip and discovered that all the kids were great at it, able to paddle without a problem, including Livvie and Tate and now we are ready for whitewater. Well, maybe whitetipped.....! We had a leisurely ride down the river, though we made it in record time. We even stopped for picnic lunch and a swim, still making it fairly quickly. We only saw one other raft the whole day and we beat them to the dock, though we were behind them. It was a mad race and they had seven adults, but our brood stroked up a storm and we beat them fair and square. We swam in the pool and played on the water slide, slept in Sunday morning and then went to Lake Michigan so they could play Pirates of the Carribean on the sand dunes. Dairy Queen topped off the day and we headed home. Eight tired people, though I suspect Rose and I were way ahead in that category. Anyway, it was alot of fun and way too short for the kids, they love getting together like this. Will send a picture when one is developed. Love to all, Esther
