Another fun day at VBS. The puddles at the campground had mostly dried up and the weather was perfect.
After VBS, we ate lunch in the vans and drove all the way to Copper Harbor for the traditional fish on the grill dinner. It wasn't quite so traditional this year, though. We put everything on the grill just in time for the sky to open up and dump a massive thunderstorm on us. The kids hid in the vans while the adults tended the fires (which kept cooking, even in the rain). When the food was ready, they all dashed through the raindrops and we shared a delicious meal under the shelter while the rain kept coming.
There was a side benefit to the storm also. When the rain started, a bicyclist took shelter with us. We struck up a conversation and shared our bounty with Kevin, a high school science teacher and summertime environmental researcher from Chicago.
After the storm, we were treated to fabulous views along Lake Superior on the drive home.
