STAYcation

We took one day during Spring Break and did something spontaneous. It was a blast! We decided to drive north along the shore of Lake Michigan and see what we could find and thanks to a phone call to our friend Sue Mack we saw so many fun things.

I spy with my little eye...a lighthouse, a slide, 282 stairs, a steamship, the world largest picnic table, Dutch wooden shoes, a windmill, flying children, Marcus' 1st out to eat experience, letters in the sand, flying shells - rocks - sand & sticks, a muskrat, fishermen, boats, a ferry without a ferry, and one happy little family.



Eric called it our STAYcation and I think he's coined a new phrase as well as a new family tradition. We saw all those things and more on our way to a city only 2 hours away. Exploring is quite fun!

p.s. I'm just a little annoyed that my computer isn't reading my mind and putting the pictures on correctly...I'll fix it later I've gotta post this and get some shut eye.















I loved this picture - I got all of our shadows! (unfortunately I look an awful lot like a tree!)
This little man is fearless!

We The People

LOVE that statement, (READ the constitution people!) expecially when I see what has been going on today. "We the people" need to stay involved and make the right kind of "change" - I'll keep my dollars, Obama can keep the change! Anyway, this is for anyone in this area (or elsewhere look up your local 9-12 project!). My husband was so wonderful today, he went to a TEA Party for me. I had sick kids and couldn't go so he went for me and talked with Scott who was "in charge." We need 1000 names for our area so anyone who feels inclined...sign your no longer silent majority self up on www.michiana912.org. I tell you I LOVE America and what our Founding Fathers stood for and that is the America I want to fight for! God Bless the U.S.A.!!!!!
