A River Runs Through It, Take 2

~edit~ I learned how to make movies!! Here is my first:

(Oops, I deleted the pics by accident. Most of them are in the video.)
My entire family went to the great North in Michigan (see last year's post) this past weekend. Mr. Sign, both girls, Mom, Ted (my step dad) and my grandma. Grandpa got sick at the last minute and didn't come.

It was an excellent weekend even though there were few fish. I forgot to take a picture of the outhouses. They were the pits, pun intended. Just imagine a tiny house with a hole inside. Now imagine that many disgusting men have used it. I mean, this thing looked like someone exploded inside. I did everything I could to find other amenities. I'm still nauseous thinking about it.


The family slept in my parents travel trailer. Mr. Sign and I slept in the back of our van. It was rather cozy.

Here we are almost tucked in:

This is how Mr. Sign likes to sleep, just like at home, all over the entire bed:

This is the view out of the back of the van:

This is #2 on Suicide Bend. We hiked (yeah, I hiked. Can you believe it?)
up to catch the view. It was breathtaking:

#2 and me. I can't believe how different our coloring is:

#2 rigging up her rod:

This is me near the dam:

Daughter #1:

Daughter #1 is the only one who caught a fish.
Here she is with her fish on a leash (I know it's a stringer,
it just sounds more fun as a leash):

Here is a rather unflattering picture of my backside. I have split many logs,
but this one almost killed me. I chopped at it for over an hour and now I can barely lift my arms:

This was our morning fire. It had to be kept small since the wind was blowing 50 MPH and the leaves were blowing. I didn't want to catch the woods on fire.
Mom, #2, Grandma and Ted:

The colors were gorgeous:
