This post was by Geneva: Hey everyone!!! We have just come back from a awesome adventure with horse drawn carriages, shopping and more shopping…. My family and I had just gotten back from Mackinaw City and Mackinaw Island. In Mackinaw City they had over 200 shops in at least walking distance. One of the cool things we did in the city was getting to go in the House of Mirrors and let me tell you never ever walk in there with your hands at your side instead of in front of you. Erin and I even got to make soap; mine smells like Black Cherry, is purple and has a sea horse in it. Finally we got to the see the new GET SMART movie, it was “the bomb” ! The next day we got to go to Mackinac Island on the Shepler. The first thing we did when we got there was to rent a bike and ride all the way around the island. Not saying that it’s a huge island but, it was a long ride and traffic was terrible considering there are no motorized vehicles. We had a great lunch at Mama Mia’s pizza place. Now I wouldn’t say that Mackinac Island is the cheapest place saying that to stay in a “special” hotel a hotel room it’s 500 smackeroos. No I’m not kidding but that’s just The Grand Hotel which is huge.
This is Erin here. Not many people travel down the Michigan coast on a jetski considring the fact that the water is so very cold. Well the Water Warriors did. The Water Warriors are a group of 25 jet skis that traveled down the Michigan coast. They raised money for the Special Olympics. One lady rode in her jetski raised 50,000 $$$$. That is a lot of money for just riding on a jetski all day. It was really cool that we got to wave to the special needs kids. They had so much fun. You could tell by the smiles on there faces. I added their web site to our Blog ( http://www.waterwarriors.org/ ).
Okay, as you saw Geneva and I were in front of a HUGE wave that had splashed up on the break wall. You don't know how long we had to stand there to get a good picture of us and the wave.That day they had about 5-7 foot waves. They were not big, not huge, but
enormous.
enormous.

Mackinaw looks really cool! I went to Mackinaw Island when I was a baby but I don't remember it well. That wooden Indian looks really cool, and I didn't realize that Erin's pig was on it until I saw it for the fifth time.
Hope you have fun at band camp
