This week is a busy last week of summer break at the McCoy home. Thursday, the kids will be bringing their school supplies to school, and Utah will meet his new teacher. Ciera will get to see her teacher, but since she had her last year, it's not nerve-wracking for her. She loves Mrs. Keyes, so we know this will be another great school year for Ciera. Utah is excited because a couple of his good friends are in his class, but he's reserved at the same time about starting another year of school and all the work it will bring.
We're leaving Friday afternoon for a weekend camping trip to Door County! We've talked about going there since shortly after we moved here, but we always put it off or change our plans to something else. We will be camping near Fish Creek, WI, at Penisula State Park, which is supposed to be the most popular state park in Wisconsin for camping. We are taking Max with us on this trip, so it will be a new experience camping with two kids and a dog. Hopefully it goes well and we'll be able to plan more trips in the future. We hate to board him, but there are just no other options for long trips when we go far from home.

I kind of remember the fish creek area when we were up there last year. Make sure to see the lighthouse it was neat. We had went to a park that was further south of that area - Potawatomie I think is how you spell it. It was pretty too. Hope Max behaves himself.

I remember talking to Mom on the phone when they were in Wisconsin and she was telling me about the lighthouse. Sounds like you guys are keeping busy as usual!
Peninsula State Park is a really cool park. Have fun!
