Hula Madness

Mimi is naturally very athletic. She tries any kind of sport and is very good at it.

Hula hooping is no exception. She was at her friend Robbie's and she picked up the hula hoop and well she has Hula Madness.
Through the course of the afternoon she has mastered the Hula with 2 hoops.

Detroit and Aunt julie

I found this spot with Aunt Julie's Facebook.
I know that Aunt Julie and I would agree on our reverence for our great city and how this spot is both uplifting and sad at the same time.

We remain hopeful.

animal prints and bridges

I thought,as a mom.that I would make our trip to Charlevoix into an experience, one that was scientific and Michiganite.
My brilliant thought was that she would take pictures and make a book.

Here are her photos. Mimi will write about her experiences.

Charlevoix is fun

We got home from Charlevoix last night and I uploaded the 200 pictures Mimi and I had taken during our stay.

Many of them were taken by Mimi , so they will need a little sorting.

Mimi had a great time. She learned to play checkers from Aunt Muggins. She learned to play Uno and the proper way to build a campfire from Uncle Tony.
She made 2.00 beating Tony at cards and thumb wrestling.
To say she was doted on is an understatement.
She photographed deer on the beach just feet away from her. She studied animal tracks and learned about the difference between lake life and ocean life.

She stalked Muggins dear cat Jefferson, she rode around in a mint 1932 Ford roadster. She got to drink orange pop everyday.
She took a jaunt to the upper peninsula and photographed the Mackinac bridge.
I just hope she talks about it in class during headline news.

We are in CHarlevoix
