Whitefish Point

We had fun at Whitefish Point. The kids enjoyed dipping their feet in Lake Superior, and it was cold! We skipped stones, hung out on the beach for a little bit, and had fun doing silly photos. It was a gorgeous day for it.

Tahquamenon Falls

Our first stop Saturday was Tahquamenon Falls. We thought we would do some hiking but we didn't really want to a full 10 miles between the upper and lower falls, since due to Covid the normal shuttle service wasn't running and we would have to hike from one to the other and then back. But we did go see both falls and the kids thought they were cool. Last time we were there we were able to go out into the falls, but they have built new boardwalks preventing that and the water was really moving! If we would have rented a boat and gone to the little island we might have been able to get in, but we had alot to do that day!

Friday night in Mackinaw City

Friday night we got up to Mackinaw City and were just excited to be away in a fun place! It has been a very weird summer, and the kids deserve to get away from home. Olivia enjoyed the in room jacuzzi while Izzy and Abby went to the hotel pool. We also got fireworks we could see from our room!

A little friend lost

Our cat is always bringing mice up to our door that she finds and 'plays' with, killing them. Sunday morning we found a very tiny mouse that was still alive. He was very small, his eyes not even open. But the girls took him in and tried to keep him warm and comfy. They tried feeding him milk from a dropper and he made it until yesterday morning. The girls were heartbroken that he didn't make it. I love how sweet they are and their hearts are so big. So we made him a little box that they decorated and buried him last night. Hopefully he felt loved in his few days.

Horace gets a new exhaust

Horace, Emma's van, needed a new exhaust so Garrett and I put one on. And she now carries our signatures around with her forever!

The Bird is beautiful!

After waiting and saving for 4 years the TBird is finally out of the body shop. The hood had faded badly, the roof had faded and started to peel, and the trim around the windshield and rear glass had cracked and chipped off. But after 3 weeks in the body shop she looks almost as good as new! My dad even chipped in with an early birthday present to do a little extra. The car looks beautiful!

Last day of pool watching

Yesterday afternoon we got one more pool hang out day at our friends pool while they are out of town. It was fun watching their pool for them, we got to use it quite a bit! With not really being able to go anywhere this summer it was nice little escape, only 1.3 miles from our house!
