It was not easy cleaning, sorting and taking care of our Mothers items. Every afternoon when we had enough I tried to get us, (My sister, Michael and I), out of the house and away for a bit. One afternoon I took them to one of my old hang outs (Photos soon) and another afternoon my Sister took us to where she use to hang out...It was a break we all needed and it was nice to spend time together enjoying a beautiful Michigan summer afternoon/evening. Some days we went shopping and others we checked out some shops or local gardens...Always something to do in the big city.
Michael checking out the lake and we found out later this is where you can launch your Kayaks from. Wish we had our Kayaks with us!
Lots of Wildflowers blooming.
Queen Annes Lace with wasp.
Everything was so green!
Bumble Bee on Clover
Beautiful Park
A queen butterfly
They are smaller than monarchs but still pretty.
Here is a Monarch but it wasn't in the mood to pose for the camera.
Michael spotted this chipmunk and was so excited, we don't have them here where we live!
He's so goofy at times!
I let my sister have my camera...Memories!
We had a few laughs when we found this really neat playground. The thing Michael is on spins. We thought you sat on it and then spun yourself around but Michael and my sister kept falling off it. We were laughing so hard as they tried to stay on it while spinning it. Then a 4 year old walked up to it and stood on it and started walking around on it and it spun as he walked...Hmmm? So that was how it's done, we were laughing as it took a 4 year old to show us how to use it!
This is like a gyro-sphere (I think that's what you call those things) and my sister didn't check it out before hand but just jumped on it...The next thing you know she is stuck as it was spinning her. She was stuck and couldn't get out of it and Michael and I were laughing so hard we couldn't help her!!
My sister was acting like a kid!! I was waiting and watching with the camera!
This was a really cool playground. Most of the items spun and used gravity to spin, there was a climbing wall too. Wish we had more playgrounds like this around here!! Michael had a lot of fun!
After a while we went for a short walk to explore...
I love Gold Finches and they were all over the place eating thistle seeds!!
Beautiful!!
