Benthem Four Summer Favorites

This summer we've been able to travel, take in some sights, and relax.  Here are the Benthem Four Summer 2012 Favorites in no particular order.

Ludington State Park

Our favorite Michigan State Park for family fun, relaxation and camping goes to non other than Ludington State Park.  Ludington State Park is ideal for families who love to hike, explore, play, and be surrounded by picture perfect views.  The Benthem Four have been camping and enjoying this park even when we were only the Benthem Two.  Some of our favorite park features include the tent only campsites with it's peace and quiet, but really for the excellent proximity to the playground.

Summer Dreaming

Summer has been wonderful for our family.  Not only do we have a change of pace from our normal work schedule and have more time to spend together, the relaxed lifestyle of summer allows us to escape into free spirit mode.  Like many families we make long summer lists of task to accomplish.  Work on one or two of those tasks and add the remaining tasks to next year's summer list.  We've been able to soak up the sun either at many of our neighboring beaches, campgrounds, or local parks.
