2023 Michigan State Fair
This was our first visit to the State Fair since it moved from Detroit to Novi and while the fair was great, when compared with the old fair grounds in Detroit it came up a little lacking. The old fair grounds was simply gigantic and you could spend hours just in one building. The old festival had many many vendors but the new one probably had a few dozen that you could go through in about a half hour.
As festivals go it was great, its just when compared with the old State Fair it comes up short, mostly because of space both outdoors and indoors.

2023 VIP Camp Party
Its hard to believe that VIP camp is already over as we just celebrated their end of season party. James has been going here since he was about 8 or 9 so its been at least a decade of VIP camp for James in the summer. Once again it was held at the bowling alley so both parents and campers could bowl if they wanted. After the bowling time we were served pizza, pop, salads, and sweets – A pretty decent spread. Once the food was served, the campers received their photo books and friendly competitive games were played between the campers and their parents. James was the coach for the campers team and Nick was the captain of the parents team. A great time was had by all.
