The Children’s Museum

Mom finally finished classes for the summer, and got a couple weeks off.  She took me back to the Children’s Museum to play with some friends!

Playing in the giant submarine.

Listening to the ocean in the seashell!

Liam, Ashlyn, and I putting a puzzle together.

Jumping on these dots make music.  I love this room!

Twirling on the stage!

Here I am on the TV screen!

Being silly!

A bug guy was there teaching about different bugs he got from the Flint River.

After playing some more, we had lunch at the museum, then it was time to go home.  It was another fun day at the Children’s Museum with great friends!

Boo-boo’s & bandaids!

I LOVE Band-aids lately!  Every time I get a bump, scratch, or any kind of boo-boo, I need a Band-aid.  Tonight, I got a hold of a couple, and made a “hurt” face for the camera!

Mackinac Island Trip

Daddy had a four day weekend, and Mom was almost done with classes for the summer, so we went back up north.  On Friday, we took a ferry to Mackinac Island with our bikes. 

I was a little unsure about sitting on top of the ferry at first!

The Mackinac Bridge from the boat.

It was very windy!

Round Island Light

The Grand Hotel

Fort Mackinac

Getting closer!

When we got off the boat, Mom and Dad spotted a Mackinac Island “beer truck!”

We got on our bikes and started riding.  Our first stop was the school, where I got to play for a little bit. 

Here I am swinging.  Mom tried to get the bridge behind me, but it was very humid & hazy.

Daddy & I spotted some fresh “road apples!”  We saw A LOT of road apples during our ride around the island!

We stopped for lunch after riding for a while.  Daddy took me to put my feet in the water to cool off.

An old cannon on the back of the island.

People like to stack rocks around the island.  They are all over the rocky beaches.

Arch Rock

Back on the bike to ride some more!

Our next stop when we got back to the main side of the island, was the Butterfly House.  We walked through and saw lots of butterflies flying around!

The Butterfly House also had a section with old turtles…

… and a scary spider!

After the Butterfly House, we took another bike ride through town.  Here is a closer look at the Grand Hotel.

We stopped to get some fudge, and I started to get tired, and begged Mom to carry me!

The Mackinac Island UPS delivery truck!  Even the horse is brown!

After dinner, we got back on the ferry to head back to the mitten.  The waves were huge & we got really wet on the ride back!  It was a great trip!  Next time, I’d like to go for a carriage ride!

Horse riding fun!

Today, Mom took me to her friend’s barn to ride her horse, Bunny.  I met some other kids of Mom’s classmates, and we got to take turns going for a ride.  I LOVED it!!After we rode Bunny, we got to brush her and feed her a treat.  I had a great time!  Thanks, Lorraine!

Silly faces!

Mom and I were in a playing mood, and she grabbed the camera.  I had fun making different faces!!

Got Captain?!

Mom checked on me after I went to bed, and this is how she found me.

She calls it a “Captain pose.” 

(Whatever that means…!!!)

Shish-kabobs

After another successful trip to the Farmer’s Market, Mom & Dad made some shish-kabobs.  They looked so good on the grill, that Mom had to take a picture!

Don’t they look yummy??!!  They tasted even better than they look!  I even ate more than Mom & Dad expected!!  It was a great summer meal that I hope we make again soon!
