Michigan's Upper Peninsula...

This is where I am at this week. Just taking it easy and hanging out with Mom and Dad and Eric. Yesterday was rainy and sunny, and sunny and rainy. Today is nice and sunny but very chilly! It got down into the 40's last night and is only up to 52 degrees...brrrrr-this is supposed to be SUMMER!  It's a little too windy on the lake to get out and fish or float around.

 This is the front (lake side) of my parent's house. They just recently added the sun room, and are in the process of changing out the deck rails to match the wood on the front of the sun room. I just love this path that leads from the house to the lake. They left the sides wild and at first I wasn't so sure I liked it-- but I have to admit it is pretty awesome!

These little duckies waddled all the way up from the lake looking for goodies.


It's about a mile across to the other side of the lake from my parent's house. The whole lake (Brevort Lake)  is about 5 miles long, in the opposite direction. I hope the sun comes out and warms us up so we can get out on the lake! There is a sand dunes (you can barely see it in the pic on the far left), that we like to go to and just beach the pontoon boat and climb the dunes and swim. In the opposite direction, there is a campground with a camp store on the shore that is fun to take the little boat to and get penny candy or an ice cream bar.

That's it for now. More pics of our U.P. adventure coming soon!
