Ketchup

No, not the condiment like I proposed above, but a catch up session.

I left off on the VERY FIRST DAY. So to be quite frank with you, I’m going to make the days short and to the point, no beating around the bush. Facts.

Wednesday-

Went to the Ella Sharp Museum for the day and then putt putt golf and Fazoli’s.

Day 2 075

Thursday-

Went to South Haven for the beach. We shopped around a little and then got to go to the local beach. Then we met up with my grandfather's brother and saw an awesome rainbow.

Day 3 045

(Alexa with a brick she found in the ocean)

 

Friday-

Visited family that had gone up to Michigan as well.  Then we went to the lake house where we stayed for the rest of Michigan and went on the boat and settled in.

Saturday-

Family Reunion. Went out tubing before anyone got there.  Then people started arriving. My cousin, Jordan, who I've been close with since well I was basically born, and I hung out the whole time. We also made friends with the littler ones as well (we were the oldest kids). We paddle boated, tubed, paddle boated, pinata, water balloon fight, paddle boated, swam, paddle boated, got "tattooed" and paddle boated. So basically we paddle boated a lot. trippp 124

Sunday-

Mass. Everyone was there. My mom left and we went to the parlor for some ice cream. Then we hung out at the lake house and had pizza. Everyone was really tired from the day before so we didn't do much.

Monday-

4th of July. Alexa was having issues that she took out on me and well made me frustrated. I got her tubing and three of our cousins came back to tube with us, too, it was fun. Paddle boated and slept in the RV.

Tuesday-

Woke up really early to hear the RV rolling away from the lake house. We were on the road until 4:30pm. Watched movies and got through enough of Jane Eyre to make me sleepy. Saw the Appalaician Mts (did I spell that right?)Then we got there, went swimming and got some ice cream.

Today-

Got off to a slow start and went to Dollywood. We got in and the first ride we took was on a train and then we went on this ride with water where I got SOAKING wet. We then went on a slow ride in a car that was on a manual track.  Then we got food and headed out for more rides. We walked and then we went on the ferris wheel. The people wouldn't let us off. I have a whole video. Then we went on this other water ride where I got soaking.  Then we went to this small indoor rollercoaster. Saw some bald eagles and went on this insane rollercoaster. I thought it was going to be moderate. NO. It was O M G. It was fun, don't get me wrong, but oooooohhh myyyyyy gooooosssshhhh. It went straight up a couple of times and went down straight once, went upside down. I mean this was the mother of all rollercoasters. Then we went on the indoor rollercoaster again.  Then we headed toward the exit and was going to go on this slide ride but it thundered and it closed down. So we went out of Dollywood and got Taco Bell. Then we went swimming in the very, very small lazy river. Now I am here, talking to you guys and watching Avatar.

So there you go, a ketchup ;)
