Concerts of the Summer Season

This summer it was my goal to go to more concerts, and plays and such and I think I did pretty well! Here are a few that I went to:

• Taylor Swift, this was an amazing concert and I hope to go to more!
• Kenny Chensney, this was a fun one with my mom I bought a cool t-shirt and went to Rio Tinto for the very first time!
• Broadway and More, went to this at the Sandy Ampitheater and saw two guys and a girl sing many different broadway songs. They were pretty darn good!
• ABBA, saw this at the Sandy Ampitheater also obiviously it wasn't the actual ABBA band but they were still way awesome, and wore the ABBA's actual costumes!
• Suesical the musical, saw this on saturday and it was way cute! My school last year performed this for our musical and I was interested to see how it compared.

Song of the Moment:

You would not believe your eyes

If ten million fireflies Lit up the world as I fell asleep

Cause they'd fill the open air And leave tear drops everywhere

You'd think me rude but I would just stand and Stare

I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns, slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

Cause everything is never as it seems Cause I'd get a thousand hugs From ten thousand lightning bugs

As they tried to teach my how to dance A foxtrot above my head A sock-hop beneath my bed

The disco ball is just hanging by a thread(Thread, thread...)

I'd like to make myself believeThat planet Earth turns, slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Cause everything is never as it seems(When I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack(Please take me away from here)

Cause I feel like such an insomniac(Please take me away from here)

Why do I tire of counting sheep?(Please take me away from here)

When I'm far too tired to fall asleep(Ha-ha)

To ten million fireflies I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes I got misty eyes as they said farewell(Said farewell)

But I'll know where several are If my dreams get real bizarre Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar(Jar, jar, jar...)

I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns, slowlyIt's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Cause everything is never as it seems(When I fall asleep)[x2]

I'd like to make myself believeThat planet Earth turns, slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

Magnificent Michigan

So far I have been in Traverse City Michigan for a week now and it has been wonderful! I still have a week left here and probably many more adventures but I thought I would share a few that have happened so far.

1st we have a motor boat and a pontoon boat and have been out on them many a time. On the motor boat we have been tubbing, water skiing, and wake boarding. I love just taking crusies on the boat too and have enjoyed laying out on the boat and getting a little sun! :)

2nd we went to Mackinac Island which I have been wanting to go to for years. It is such a beautiful island and to get to the island you have to take a ferry which is pretty cool too. There are no cars on the island except for an ambulance and probably some police cars. There are some quaint little shops and many places to eat too. There are places to rent bikes, ride horses, and have carriage rides. Most of us rentecd bikes and road around the island overlooking the water. Two of my cousins and my aunt rode horses all around the island. The island is very busy with many people visting but is aslo very Beautiful!

3rd We have gone shopping to many of the same places we always shop at but it is still fun to go. Leland, Front Street, and Glen Arbor. Later this afternoon I think we are headed to Suttons Bay! Art Festival Time!!

Those are just a few of the many adventures had and to come!
