Biking Adventure

Hello again from Michigan everyone.  Today is our last full day here, as we're leaving again and heading back home tomorrow morning.  We all have greatly enjoyed our time here horseback riding, bike riding, attending sports games, hunting for cherries, and much much more.  Up until yesterday the weather here has been absolutely gorgeous.  Yesterday though it really started heating up as well as being much more humid than it's been otherwise.  So yesterday afternoon the girls went outside and played in the hose for a little bit to cool off.

On Wednesday afternoon the whole family minus Grandma went down to Grandpa's condo to ride bikes.  I realized after getting on that I must have known how to ride a bike before, it seemed so easy.  I rode around the neighbor hood a few times with Dad, and Mom and Josh too.  It took Josh a bit longer but once he got it, he was doing awesome riding around the neighborhood by himself.  Even Sarah and Hannah were riding a bit by the time we went inside.  After we had been riding for a little bit though, it started to rain!!  We went inside to the condo for a bit to wait it out, then left to get ice cream at Culver's.  A very delicious treat!  

Yesterday the boys left early in the morning to go to a Detroit Tiger's baseball game.   While they were gone the girls went antique shopping in Lawrence and painted our nails.  That evening we met Aunt Denise and Heather at Olive Garden for dinner.  

And I had completely forgotten, but we did something fun and different last Saturday!  After breakfast, we went to a fish hatchery and went fishing!  None of us girls had been fishing that we could remember, so that was very fun.  We got a tour of the fish hatchery and saw where they raise the fish, and then got to fish in the rain!  We all enjoyed ourselves very much.  Pictures coming soon!

Under the mercy,

Elizabeth
