Busy working on the new house

So I have been posting regularly on my house blog since that is what we have been doing lately.

I did take Friday morning off and took Tyler and Jessie to the zoo to see the new snow leapord cub.

Yesterday, I spent catching up on things at Mark and Janes like mowing, cleaning and laundry. I even weeded our small garden some to keep it in control. The big garden has been abandoned as far as weeds. We will see if anything comes out of it.

Last night Ben and I discovered that the horse had been traped for a couple days in the pasture. He had went through the electric fence of one pasture into the lane between the two pastures (we think a deer took a part out but it was dark and we couldn't tell) and then couldnt figure out how to get back across. Poor guy has been stuck and I just thought he was being stubbor and didn't want to come see me. So we gave him food and water last night and I spent time feeding and brushing him this morning.

I feel I realy let the ball drop on this one. We have just been so busy with the house I would just drive by and make sure he wasn't lame and check his water.

we well have to do a better job. Oh, he also lost a shoe so I have to get the ferrier to come out as well.

So that is what has been going on.

A few stops on the way home Sunday July 6

On the way back down to the bridge we stopped at one of my childhood favorites, Castle Rock.

Here is a pick of Ben, Tyler and I with Paul and Babe.

Then we climbed up the rock (stairs).

Here are the guys resting half way up.

Tyler walked all the way up and back down by himself.

At the top Tyler and Ben enjoy the view.

Ron takes this picture of Me, mom, dad, Tyler and Ben.

Tyler picked out this head dress and drum from the shop.

South of the bridge we stopped at a shop called sea shell city and Tyler played on the pirate ship outside.

From here we kept on the road untill Alma where we stopped for dinner and checked out our old appartment (hadn't changed a bit).

It was a long weekend by the time we got home.

Saturday July 5th, Zoo and riding.

We started the next day with breakfast at Janies and then headed out to the zoo on Hwy 2. The guys took motorcycles, mom rode with dad, Ladonna rode with grandpa and Tyler and I followed in the car.

Here we stoped at a little shop/motel called Hog Heaven.


Next we came to the zoo.



The baby ringtail lemur was something new for me.



We stopped at a bar so Tyler could pose with this bear.


Grandpa took us to this woodsy rest area and Ron posed for a shot.




When we arrived back at pickford for fish we took this family shot with the Harley Heritage Softail that Ben had borrowed from Bob for the weekend.

Later we had a fire at the cabin and Tyler used up the rest of his sparklers.

4th of July Festivities

We went with mom, dad and ron up to the U.P. for the 4th of July, where my grandpa Ron and Ladonna are. We stayed with a family friend Janie and had a great time.

The boys drove motorcycles and mom and I followed with Tyler in our Honda.

We went to a pancake breakfast at the firebarn in Cedarville and then went to get supplies in the Sue.

The we met grandpa and Ladonna for the parade.

Tyler got a lot of candy and beads. He also had his face painted.

Later we went to St Ignace for dinner and then went to the fireworks.



After the fireworks we had a bon-fire at Janies and Tyler got to play with a few sparklers.
