We went to Jason and Amy's place in Upper Michigan for the Fourth, had a great time. Where to begin, well on the way we had to brake for the bear lumbering across the road. That was a cool sight, and the bear was big, about 300 pounds! Thats alotta bear! We also needed to watch for deer as they seemed to be everywhere. During the daytime thats when we were seeing the wild turkeys.
On Friday Jason placed 4th out of 13 in the stock division of the Hermansville mud runs (pictures to follow). We checked out the museum and car show, listened to a band that was awesome (old time rock and old time Patsy Cline country) and watched the kids and grandkids go swimming in the Hermansville Pond fully clothed. We cooked supper over the fire then went back to watch the fireworks. I have to say, this small town in Upper Michigan has our over populated area of Wisconsin beat. There were two grand finales, and the regular part was pretty darn spectacular too.
Saturday we planted a couple apple trees, took apart the well, walked in the woods (at one point I had 10 ticks on my back alone. I felt very ticky the rest of the time. We went swimming at a sandy beach and that was very refreshing afterwards. We got back to town about 10:30 pm, did another tick check and crashed into bed.
Sunday found us heading south, we went to Madison for the day. Lots of fun, lots of sun, I love summer!!
