Cheer Camp

Summer isn’t complete without a camping trip. Celebrated the end of summer with our cheer family at Camp Dearborn...cotton candy, bike rides, camp dances, beaches, poker run, picnic, campfires, dancing on the beach, and memories. Our first camper rental was a success. We’ll never tent again.

Best Summer EVER!

The summer of 2022 was the inaugural boating season for the Hammerick family!  We had some amazing lake days (and sometimes nights) out on Cooley Lake. We learned how to navigate the lake, dock at the sandbar, pack up awesome snackel boxes, and play some fun lake games too.  Our new lake family sure did make this summer a memorable one.  We are looking forward to next summer when we can really LIVE on Cooley Lake!


 


 



We has quite a few adventures this summer when we weren't hanging out at summer school during the week.  Allie learned to wakeboard thanks to some super cool neighbors.  Our first BIKE RALLY was a blast as peddled around the lake meeting more awesome lake folks.  Ayden frequented out pool when we spent the day at home.  At the Catfe we snuggled some cute cats and kittens...and we strawberry picked for the very first time!

Cookie Cruise

Cruised around Lake Saint Claire this evening and celebrated the top cookie sellers for the season. The girls enjoyed dancing, henna tattoos, creampuff sundaes, and strawberry daiquiris. We truly appreciate all who help make this experience a reality.

Treasured

Feeling TREASURED at VBS this week. I just love our church and the amazing VBS they put on every summer. There is seriously no other youth programming that can top this…this set, these crew leaders, the snacks, crafts, and games, the catchy songs!!

I had a blast leading the crafts for the younger campers for a 6th summer…and had the best junior volunteer this time too! This was Allie’s first VBS as a junior volunteer and she just thrived at leading and caring for the campers. She is going to make a great babysitter!! Ayden has been attending VBS since he was 2 and came with me to volunteer my very first year. I will forever cherish his little self singing and dancing with his crew, because this year it was not his thing unfortunately.

Friends, Fun & Frankenmuth

Top cookie seller celebration was filled with memories. Proud of Allie for selling 1,500+ boxes this year and to all our girls for their top cookie seller efforts. Way to go troop!



Allie opted to sail on the paddle boat while visiting Frankenmuth. The girls, and moms, had a great time snacking on board as we sailed down and back up the river.


As a troop reward, we played at Splash Village for a few hours. I hardly saw the girls the entire time. They were in the water and on the slides. A well deserved reward and time with our scout sisters.

Happy Birthday America

Up north for the fourth to kick off America's birthday with our besties.  Bonfires, fishing, paddle boarding, yard games, and Lake Mitchell sandbar with amazing company.  Then, back south for some fireworks on Cooley Lake with family and new friends.
