Day 324: Kayaking Biscayne Bay

Kayaking was a lot of fun, though out on the bay it could be a little scary at times, especially when a yacht would go sailing through. I probably wouldn't have thought much about it except for trying to paddling through the wake and because last time I went kayaking in the ocean, I rolled the kayak and lost my sunglasses.

Day 302: S&W Days

Ashley, Sarah, Kevin, Scott, Dennis, Marc, and I went to a gun shop in Bay City for Smith and Wesson Days. Reps from S&W were on hand with plenty of guns to test. I tried out a .40, a 9mm, and a .38 special. It was way fun. After that we had lunch at Los Quatros Amigos, played games at the Flatts' house, and then went to a play at Delta.

Day 71: Temple Theatre Tour

Sarah, Dennis, Mandy, and I had a private tour of the Temple Theatre in Saginaw.  It was so cool.  The picture is of the main chandelier in the foyer—they're all Austrian crystals.  After, we had lunch at The Junction, also in Saginaw.

Day 70: Kayla and Josh

Kayla, Josh, and I went hiking in City Forest.  Last Christmas, Josh gave me a compass and we just had to try it out.  Since there are so many trails in City Forest, it's easy to get lost.  If you have a compass, it's also easy to find your way back, since the parking lot is north of the forest.  After hiking, we picked up KFC and headed to the Fun Zone.  Josh suggested picnicking under the water tower, and since I'm trying to live a better story, that's what we did.  Then we played on the playground for a bit before heading to Baskin Robbins for ice cream.

Day 68: Rodeo

Mom and I went to the rodeo at the Midland County Fair.  We saw a 14-year-old kid get stomped by a bull, but thankfully he was okay and able to walk it off.

Day 43: Camping

Because of the predicted bad weather, we decided to camp in the backyard, so that if it rained, we could just run into the house.  We didn't get much rest sleeping on the ground, so Ash and Toby decided to take a nap.

Day 36: God-Kid Adventure

Kayla, Josh, Gage and I.

Today was the annual God-Kid Adventure.  We [Dennis, Gage, Josh, Kayla and me] went to the Dinosaur Gardens and a Paul Bunyan statue in Ossineke.  Then we went to the Sturgeon Point Lighthouse and put our feet in Lake Huron.  After that, we went to Lumberman's Monument, and we finished with a picnic dinner in a park in Tawas City.  Next year, I'm thinking we'll do Ludington State Park.
