Going to Lake Michigan was pretty much a big part of our day. Anne and her family was there with her seven kids, insane! I went into the water to see if it was any warmer than the day before and it was still freezing. I made it a goal to at least go all the way under the water so I walked out until it was a little over waist deep (oh man I couldn't feel my feet) I dunked under and then ran out of the water and wrapped up in a towel, burr!! Wally Anne's husband was hilarious, he reminded me of Mr. Lord who I had Ecology with, very much like a science teacher. It was cute though because Anne's youngest daughter was only a few months old, her name is Veronica, she was adorable!! I held onto her and let her play with my hair tie. She hasn't ever been in the sand and so she was having fun digging it up with her hands and feet. She started to get tired and want to go back to Anne and so I helped the kids make this square wall thing they were making. It started to get chilly and almost time for supper so we all decided it was time to leave, Anne had a long drive home and they still needed to eat. They needed help carrying stuff so I volunteered to hold onto Veronica, gladly!! I actually think I shocked my grandparents and mom, because I'm constantly telling them that I'm not having kids! I love babies though like Veronica and she actually makes me want to have kids. I think my problem is though that Jessica is the reason that I don't want to have kids. I don't want them to grow up and act like her, sounds harsh I know but seriously. On the long hike through the sand to the cars she started to get fussy, I think she was thinking that I was taking her away from momma. I kept telling her that mommy is coming and that she's not going anywhere. Anne ended up giving me a photo of Veronica which is even more adorable, it made my day. Hopefully we can go see them soon and I'll be able to hold Veronica again!!!
Today we went and took a dune ride at a place that was like a half hour away. That was cool because I got some neat photos of Lake Michigan and the dunes. On the way home we stopped at a ice cream shop where we got some ice cream cones. I got Mookies 'n' Cream, it was alright besides it tasted kinda watered down or like it had freezer burn or something. everyone but Grandpa went to a cow farm called Country Dairy where you can take a tour around the farm and learn about what they do and so forth. Well we got there at 2, which the last tour was at 1:30, so we decided to go a different day but come earlier. Later in the day Mom, Grandma and I got into an argument about the two gay guys and their 'son'. I was just stating what I thought about it and how the kid will prob grow up to be like one of them. Grandma got all mad and asked me why I would wish for something like that, which I told her I didn't, I was just saying. She told me that we shouldn't judge just because thats the way they want to live. We weren't necessarily judging them just saying that what they're doing is wrong. Grandma was like, "Well I'm not here to judge and what people do isn't any of my business." I thought...so then we shouldn't judge serial murderers because thats the kind of lifestyle they want... Mom was like ok so if someone molested Jessy and Josh I shouldn't care because thats how that person lives their life and I shouldn't make it my business. Grandma got all mad and went into her room. I mean we weren't trying to pick a fight but I have no idea how she can think that way when she constantly picks on Grandpa and us. In other news, the wireless still doesn't work, argh!
Today we didn't do much besides go and do go carts. It was just Jess and I in one cart (was cheaper) and then Grandpa and Josh in another cart. We got side by side to race and then the the petal to the metal, haha! Every time Grandpa tried to get around me I would cut him off so he couldn't pass. Jess and I ended up winning (of course =P). Mom and Grandma stood on the side lines and took pictures and watched. After that we played a few games, got tickets and then traded those in for a few prizes. A big rip off of the $5 you spend getting the tickets to end up getting little dinky prizes that cost 10 cents, but whatever lol. Went back to cottage and went to a potluck that they have on every Monday so you had to bring a dish to pass. There was some pretty good food but we brought our own spaghetti so if there wasn't then we would have something to eat just for our family. Near the end they went through and someone from your family had to stand up and introduce everyone else then say how long we've been coming and what cottage we're staying in. This one guy that was part of a bigger family of 3 other cottages stood up and said his name then told us that his 'partner' was over at the playground with their 'son'. I don't mean to be judgmental or anything, I don't care about gay/lesbian/bi people i mean who they want to be in love with whatever. I don't agree with dragging other innocent people into it. Like this instance, the little boy they had was black so you know they adopted him, but he was maybe two and knew no better. The life of that little boy would change because he has two gay fathers. He will probably grow up and be casted out because of this, and sadly he will probably become like them, not that I wish for this to happen. Sure they care for you and love you and everything but for me the idea if I had two lesbian moms would make me feel like they would want me to be part of the group, I don't know. Anyways it was a little awkward I'll admit. Other than that there wasn't anything else exciting for the night. Oh it sucked also because the internet wouldn't connect so I was left without internet, but maybe it'll come back later.
Today I woke up around Noon when Mom asked if I wanted to go to the store with her and Grandma. We left an hour later and I really wanted to go to the crafts so I could walk around and look for this glass nail file I wanted (Kyle said that I couldn't grow my nails out so I'm trying to stop biting them, so far so good!). We went to Meijer's first and got a bunch of groceries. We went back to the cottage and Grandpa was wondering why we didn't go to the crafts first because we would have been saving gas. We said that we're on vacation and don't really care, haha. Mom, Josh, and I left and walked around the booths looking at whatever people had. We came across this one booth that had a bunch of stuffed fabric animals. Josh seen this big lizard that he wanted (I got one a couple years before) so I didn't get anything. I seen this stingray though that was only $8 so I bought it for Manda =], and Mom picked Jessica out this iguana. Joshua's is pretty because it has a dark rainbow pattern with a dark yellow belly. We were going to get this elephant ear to share between us three but everyone was kind of packing up and leaving so we didn't get the chance, oh well. Went back to the cottage and I continued reading Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. We had dinner and then ended up going to the state park to walk around on the beach. The water was freezing!!! Before we left I walked over to this inlet of water and there it felt like bath water, it was really nice. After that I just laid on my bottom bunk bed and was on the internet.
I'm at Ludington, MI at the Vacation Lane cottages! We're here for a whole week it's pretty nice =P. I drove and it was a bit nerve racking because when we left it had started to sprinkle. Well as we kept going it was like rain flashes, would be pouring for a few minutes to the point where I couldn't even see the white dashes separating the lanes! Also driving behind grandpa was frustrating, I wanted to set my speed control but I couldn't figure out how fast he was going, which was about 63 and mom was saying that he probably didn't want to lose me. It was kind of embarrassing because all these people kept passing us. We finally made it though and unpacked all our crap into the cottage. There was a crisis of who is going to sleep where and what not so finally we decided that Josh and I would sleep in the room with the bunk beds, Mom would sleep in the off bedroom, Grandma and Jess in the queen bedroom, then Grandpa out in the living room on the sofa. We didn't have anything to grand for dinner, hot dogs n chips, woot!. I didn't know if Grandpa brought his laptop but I did so I went in my room and tried out the wireless. At first it didn't work but later when I seen he had his then I brought mine out and it worked, unfortunally we couldn't figure out why his didn't I guess he just has a sucky wireless signal. It's pretty cool because their was this craft show kind of like the Highland Festival. We found out that Hamlin Lake was algae infested (really bad) and so we couldn't go swimming in it until Tuesday they said. You could go swimming but you end up feeling itchy. We didn't do much of anything else for the rest of the day but get settled in.
Ok so I finally got pics of my car! I still have yet to get pics of my Tablet on here but when I do I'll post them but first heres my car ;).
