Jack 10 months old

Jack is 10 months old in a few days and as you can see he still thinking he is little. He starts out putting his front paws on Dennis's lap and wants petted. Before you know it he is all the way up with both back paws and laying down. He must weight a good 50 lbs and it is all Dennis can do to hold him but he will not give up trying. Oh the joys of owning a puppy, thank God he does not try it with me I know I could not hold him.

Fishing Tournament

We had a fishing tournament at Giles campground. It rain during the tournament but everyone had fun. 30 lbs of fish was caught, even a pike was caught. We gave out 5 First prizes and everyone who fish got a prize too. We are very much enjoying our summer here and everyone has made us feel at home here. We are starting to get to know most of the seasonal and even making friends. We are looking forward to the end of the summer tho and heading home to Texas as we really miss all our winter Texan friends.

Mill Creek Saw Mill

We went to day and saw how they use to cut logs by hand and how they use water to run a saw mill that was built in 1790. It was so great to see the differents and understand how it made their lifes so much easier. By hand they could cut up to 14 boards a day and with the water saw mill they could cut 10 times that many. The kids working at Mackinaw are well learned and are so willing to share their knowledge.

Mackinaw Island

Took a few days off and drove to the Mackinaw Bridge and spend a few days. Went to the Island on Monday. Love going there, nothing changes. We watch them shoot off a cannom, and rifes. We also went to see the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse, we climb to the top of it and it was cool.

Holland

We took an afternoon and went to Holland. We went to the Windmill Village, it was funny and a good day away from the job

4th of July Fireworks

The owner of Giles Campground set up fireworks on the beach and set them off. We have not seen fireworks for 4 years and these were some of the best I have ever seen.

Bike parade 4th of July

Giles Campground had a bike parade for the kids for the 4th of July. They decorated their bikes and took them all around the campground. It was not a contest but everyone got a prize for finishing. Fun was had by all.
