The Huron shore

The eastern shore of Lake Huron is famous for its beaches and sunsets. We were not disappointed.

This camping trip was the least ambitious I've taken either of the girls on. We didn't have a packed agenda, and Brenna is mature enough I don't have to keep my eye on her constantly. Meals were prepared at leisure, rather than in a mad scramble. I let Brenna play pyromaniac, so I only had to sit and gaze into the fire. I had time to repair the tent fly somewhat, and wander around the campsite taking photos. I wrote my morning pages every day, which is especially important but harder to do when I'm occupied with new experiences.

I was reminded how relaxed I can be outdoors. Really, that's my element. It made me wish again for a simpler life, closer to nature. I would be more myself, with time to think and write about the things that matter. I need to make this happen.
