Start of School

I can't believe that school starts in a week from today! It is so crazy, it seriously has felt that this summer has only been like a week long! I am not sure how I feel about this coming school year, in some ways it will be really fun to see everyone again and go to school activities. In many ways though, it is going to be extremly hard. With the start of the major ib classes I will be taking I am going to have to be studying a whole lot more this year, and working twice as hard. Though I am excited for dance both at school and at Virgina Tanner that will be starting up. (Audrey I hope you have signed up this year!) No I did not just talk to myself, I am talking to my other friend Audrey. Anyway, I hope ya'll are okay with school starting, it is kind-of excitng, who knows what the new year will bring along! Feel free to write what your schedules are like or what you are nervous or excited for in this upcoming, very fastly approaching school year, in my comments! Have a great year everybody!

Magnificent Michigan

Every year my family and I go to Michigan to a smaller town called Traverse City, which is the cherry capital of the world so they have a bunch of stores that are all based around cherries and make jam, salsa, and multiple different spreads out of cherries! Both of my mom's sisters and there famlies join us and it is pretty much one big famliy vacation that lasts for two weeks. It seems after many years, ever since I can remember that we have gone to Michigan that I would get sick of it but I don't. Every time we go we do mainly the same things like go to the little towns near by and shop around at the cute little stores, and go to the Suttons Bay Art festival, and many other things like that, but each time I get something else out of it. Sure sometimes spending that much time with the family can be intense and at times you just want to scream and go running from the cottage, but really those times I spend with my family are some of the best. Here are some of the things we did this year:

Swimming in the lake at night!

Have a campfire with s'mores at my aunts house.

See my aunts new little dog Biff! One of the cutest things ever!

Hiking the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes to Lake Michigan

Celebrating my Aunts B-day!

Celebrating my grandpas b-day 88!

Riding in the motorboat we rented, waterskiing and tubing behind it. Also floating in this cool balck tire my aunt bought.

Also we went shopping at a bunch of cute little shops, went to the Suttons Bay Art Festival, went to the North West Michigan Fair where we got air brush tatoos, and old fashioned pictures taken. We also got a lot of sun and I tanned a little, and we went out to dinner a couple of nights. It was a very fun vacation and I was sad to leave, Michigan I will miss you until next year! -Audrey
