Indiana Dunes

We went on our first camping trip since Conner was born! Conner did really well! He slept amazing the night before we left! We had a really hard time getting him to wake up to eat in the morning before we left. Then he slept the whole 3 hour drive! When we got to the Albanese Candy Factory, he woke up long enough to eat on one side, then fell back to sleep! The Albanese Candy Factory has windows so you can watch them make their gummy candy. While we were there they were making gummy frogs! We bought a little candy for Saturday night.

Then we drove to Zao Island Amusement Land. First we did a feeding. The Powell kids fed the alligators while I fed Conner. Conner was so hungry that after eating from me, he wanted a couple of bottles as well!

Then we went to the bumper cars.

Next was the race track.

The Powells played laser tag and we hung out; it was nice weather out today! Conner is doing such a great job at holding up his head! He recently has been able to start seeing things farther away. Now he loves to stare at lights and bright colors - mostly anything above us.

Next we went for ice cream. This ice cream parlor was suppose to have the best ice cream. We thought it was good and over priced.

 

We headed to camp to get all set up. For dinner we made dutch oven chicken pot pie, fresh pineapple and for dessert, s'mores!

This is how Conner slept that night. It's really something you put in a car seat during the winter, but we used it as his sleeping bag!

Saturday morning we made dutch oven biscuits and gravy. We spent the day at the beach of Lake Michigan! We had such a fun time!

We even buried a few of the Powells!

That night we went out to eat at Red Robin, then went to the drive in movie theater! That's where we ate our candy from the Albanese Candy Shop! We watched Planes and Malefacent!

Sunday morning we made dutch oven breakfast burritos. We packed up and headed home. We had such a fun time!
