Camping

Jeg har jo lovet, at I skulle komme til at se lidt mere fra USA, så hermed lidt billeder fra vores campingtur.
Det er utroligt hyggeligt at campere i Michigan. (Bortset fra en fugl med en stemme som en alarm, der sad og skreg kl. 06.30 om morgenen.) I år var vi i Interlochen, en 4 timers køretur fra Ann Arbor. Teltene blev sat op i god ro og orden, uden at jeg fik lyst til at slå min niece ihjel. (Det hjalp garanteret, at det værste jetlag var overstået!)
Campingpladsen ligger i en skov, og ligesom sidste år var der bålplads.

I promised to show you a bit more from my trip to the US, so here goes with some photos from when we went camping.
It is so nice camping in Michigan. (Apart from a certain bird with the voice of an alarm, which sat screaming at 6.30 a.m.) This year, we went to Interlochen, a 4 hour ride from Ann Arbor.
The tents were raised quite quickly and peacefully, without me wanting to kill my niece. (It probably helped that I didn't have too much jetlag!)
The camping park is located in a forest, and like last year, we had a fireplace.

Flere dage tog vi på tur og så bl.a. Traverse City, Petosky og Glenn Arbor. Vi var i hele 3 Cherry Republic butikker, den ene større end den anden, men det kræver et indlæg for sig selv.
Her sad vi og ventede med hunden, mens niecen kiggede på tøj. Min nevø er i en periode, hvor han absolut ikke vil fotograferes, og hvis han vil, må man ikke poste ham på facebook. Men her kan I ikke rigtig se ham, så det går jo nok....
Som I kan se, er han stadig glad for sin Pokémon sweater!

Several days, we went on trips and visited Traverse City, Petosky and Glenn Arbor. We went to no less than 3 Cherry Republic shops, each one bigger than the other. I will make a post about it.
Here we are, waiting with the dog, while my niece went looking at clothes. My nephew has an age where he absolutely doesn't want to get his photo taken, and if he allows it, you can't post him on facebook. But on this picture, you can't see him anyway, so I guess he survives.
As you can tell, he still likes his Pokémon sweater!

Den ene aften fik vi snobrød! Juhuu! Det var på betingelse af, at jeg selv lavede dejen (ikke noget problem!) og pindene var egentlig for små, men det var SÅ hyggeligt!
Bagefter snakkede jeg om mine fantastiske snobrød hele ugen. Det må være den danske måde at udøve psykisk tortur mod børn, for hvilket barn har tålmodighed til at vente og bage et rigtig godt snobrød? (Når man nu ved, at det hurtigere bliver færdigt hvis der går ild i!)

One evening, we had snobrød! Yipee! The only claim was that I had to make the dough myself (no problem!) and the sticks were too small, but it was just the BEST!
Afterwards, I talked about my amazing snobrød all week. It surely is the Danish way of mental torturing kids, because I never knew a child with patience to wait and make a really good snobrød. (Especially when you know it will get done quicker if it catches fire!)

Campingpladsen lå ved en sø, og der var en dejlig strand og mulighed for at sejle. Der var utroligt mange stjerner om natten, og solopgangen så sådan her ud.
Hvis næste års sommerferie inkluderer en campingtur igen, så er jeg frisk!

The camping park was next to a lake, and there was a nice beach and the possibility to go sailing. At night, there were so many stars, and the sunrise looked like this.
If next years summer vacation comes with a camping trip again, I'm in!
