Our latest adventure

Yesterday after church we dropped Rose E off at Jeff's parents house and then trailered the Ranger four wheeler to Sidnaw, Mi (which is about an hour away from their house). Then we went on a beautiful ride. These first three pictures where taken at the Agate falls. Of course the pictures don't do it justice. In it's hay day loggers sent logs rolling down it leading to a mill. There was a boardwalk underneath this bridge as well as a gift shop so that was neat too.
Walter was in his glory on this trip as for we went over several old train bridges, saw an old depot and some track as well as train cars. We drove all the way to Bergland and saw Lake Gogebic which is where the last picture of the trip was taken and then headed back to our starting point. It was a fun trip where we got to see many many deer, birds and lots of pretty scenery. I was surprised to see how many leaves on the trees where still green, not for long I'm sure! Walter is anxiously awaiting that snow but not me!

This boy of ours must have asked a million questions yesterday. Even ones such as why did they make this toy this way or why didn't they do this when they made it. Anyway, it was funny because he told us that he likes to ask a lot of questions because "that's the way god made me." Gotta love it. Speaking of God, in this last picture I took a picture of Walter's "airplane" created out of boxes. He worked on this contraption for hours taping one box to the next and making me, Rose E and his toy's scoot around in it. Anyway, he decorated it with marker and put on "crosses for Jesus and one with Jesus dying on the cross." As well as other artwork.

Rose E has been into singing "Eieio" lately. It is the cutest thing. She is also holding those dolls and stuffed animals (along with shoes) near and dear to her these days. It was cute because on Saturday we ate at Mc Donald's with Jeff's mom and she got a little Dorothy doll in her happy meal (which thrilled her) anyway Jeff's mom said give the doll a kiss and now she has been kissing all of her toys (as well as us). Yesterday too, when we went to pick her up from their house she had a monkey and said "hug monkey" and then gave it a hug. Her other new word has been "yes" although she still loves the power of shaking that head no with a "no, no, no."

Last but not, least I am tickled pink to finally have our van back after our whole deer ordeal. Thank goodness for insurance as for it would have cost us over $4,000 to repair but is as good as new now.
