  • Some of what I saw (with Beth) part 3

    I'm falling behind!

    The plans to go to Northport and the Sand Dunes feel through due to a sick monster...

    Luckily Beth is flexible...

    Boy is she! She was showing Isabelle how to do the splits and kiss the floor! VERY impressive.

    Pictures to come!

    (Just kidding Beth!)  

     

    Instead we went here...

    old mission lighthouse

    Old Mission light house.

    Mildred really wanted to see a light house.

    I think she had Betsie Point in mind, but we will save it for next time.

    walking on water

    The kids had a great time.

    They even found some tadpoles for the frog pond.

    I have a ton more to show you...

    More from Old Mission and some from our boat ride on the Bay.

    Last night Beth took Ben and I out to dinner and I have some from that..

    but for now The kids and I are taking Beth to The House of Doggs for lunch gotta run!

    The question!

    If Beth aka SEEDSOWER were visiting YOU... What would YOU take her to do????

  • Some of what I saw (with BETH) part 2

    Yesterday Beth, Mildew and I went to Mackinac Island!

    Mackinac lighthouse

    It was a gorgeous day for it.

    On the island there are only two forms of transportation, ( if you don't count your feet)

    mackinac bikes

    bikes

    and

    horsing around 1 Horsing around by three

    horses!

    The guy in the second picture is saying...

    "Hey lady! You have to pay for that shot!"

    Mackinac forget me nots

    We took a carriage ride through the woods.

    We wanted to see

    this...

    Mackinac Arch rock

    The Arch Rock

    mackinac fence

    Then we went to the fort.

    So we could jump everytime they fired the cannon and...

    Mackinac piper

    listen to the pipers!

    MAckinac piper with a veiw

    They play on the edge of the fort so that the music will float down to the town and the tourists will get the urge to come up and visit the fort!

    Tricky pipers!

    It was a great trip.  I was with Beth!

    Today we are going to Northport and the Sand Dunes...

    What do YOU think I'll take pictures of today????
