We went back up north for Charlevoix’s Venetian Festival.  This year, I got to go on some bigger rides, like the ferris wheel and the spinning bears!  I wanted to go on even bigger ones, but Mom said I’d have to wait until I was a little older!    
On Saturday, we went to breakfast at Darlene’s.  On our way back, Mom & Dad saw a bald eagle flying over the lake, and Mom snapped a quick picture.
Later on, we drove to Petoskey for lunch.  I got to play at the playground by the lake...  
It started to rain, so we drove back to Charlevoix, where I got to ride more rides.  Mom didn’t like the spinning bears the day before, so this time, Daddy and I rode by ourselves.  
Then we all squeezed onto the ferris wheel for a family ride.  (Mom’s working on better self-portrait pictures!!)
Mom took a picture of the harbor from the top of the ferris wheel!
On Sunday, we spent the day on the lake.  I got to help Daddy drive the boat!  
It was a perfect summer day and an even better summer weekend!
