Just back from a lovely camping vacation to Mackinaw City, Michigan.
Surprisingly, there were few, if any, Bad Mom incidents. Must have been all that fresh air and fun!

| Me and the family on the shores of Mackinac Island |
However, I did manage to drive into my carport with the roof bubble still attached to my roof rack. I plum forgot it was attached!
 |
| The Sears X-Cargo roof bubble with fresh dings |
The car port came out the winner, the roof bubble survived with minor dings, and my car came out the biggest loser as the roof bubble flew off when I backed out of the carport with a piece of the roof rack still attached to it, which scraped up my hood.

| Nice, right? |
At least my car is already 9 1/2 years old. Who am I impressing anyway? Plus, you can barely see the scrapes under all that dirt, right?
Good times, good times.
And, Sydney cracked me at Fort Mackinac on Mackinac Island. After biking 8 miles around the island, taking a lunch break, and then visiting a butterfly house, we decided to walk/hike up the big hill to the Fort. Sydney, now 4 1/2, alternated between walking and begging to be carried. As we entered the Fort, she looked around at all the character reenactors, the old fashioned buildings, canons, and what-not and said, “Where’s the Fort?”
At least 8 of our fellow tourists burst out laughing. All I could say was, “And that’s why 4-year-olds are admitted free!”
’til next time my faithful followers of my badness…
Glad you had a good time! We are camping this week in Greenville, MI. Matts mom is bringing me a potty to pee in while I am there. Given I did not camp growing up, I am sure this will be awesome. Sorry to hear about the car. This is exactly why new cars are overrated.
ugh! I think I’m more upset that these incidents can’t be blamed on our husbands! 🙂 I really grasped at blaming it on my children. Truth is, I probably would’ve totalled the mirrow without the distraction of my kids! Thanks for sharing.
