Ludington

This weekend Kristen, the kids, and I went up to Ludington State Park with my parents and sister. As a kid, I remember the whole family camping there for a week of hiking and fishing. Sometimes we did it with other families and sometimes just by ourselves.
It's interesting to do something that you did as a kid with your children. Abby and Rebecca seemed to have a good time hiking despite that the hikes lasted a good 3-4 hours. Granted, they didn't walk the entire way and we didn't take any particularly hard trails, but 3 hours of motion is a long time for a 3 and a 4 year old.
I took a few pictures while I was out there, experimenting with the assistance that my digital camera gives for panoramic shots. You can see the results above. You might wonder why I would want to take a panoramic view of what is obviously a swamp, but this is one of those views that seemed incredible to me in person.
I'm going to guess that it needs 3d vision and the greater resolution that actually being there provides.
A larger version is available for those who care... Just look for the file named "swampmerge."
