At the Wisconsin Dells.  

My dad and I took this water slide dowwwwwn!!!

More summer in Michigan... this time with my friend, Hop and his parents, Boyd and Wendy.

Here's us blowing the largest bubbles ever made in the history of bubble-making...

Hop introducing me to the wonders of the iPad.

Here I am at a Michigan apple farm, picking apples...  

Here we are enjoying the low sodium beach right outside our door!

Oh Michigan, you charming hand-shaped state!

We went to Michigan a few times this summer... this weekend it was just the girls: me, my mom, Ninny and Bubbles.  We went to a place they call "Hagar Shores".  I call it "Paradise".

GO CUBEEZ.... Again!

The Graces and my Uncle Brian were all in town at the same time, so we took in the pride of Chicago.  

We also went to a Cubs Game!  Yayyy!

I'm not absolutely sure why I look dumbfounded in this picture....

Thank goodness for Ninny, Ooona, and that large glass of lemonade, 

or I might never have come out of my Cubby Coma.
