i got into some trouble on day 3. i really made mama upset, but i didn't really mean to. we had driven a really long way from our nice motel on the water, stopped at a couple stores along the way, stopped at a school called northern michigan university to check some stuff out daddy wanted to see. then, after we checked into our new hotel, mom made us go to this really old place she said my great-grandpa worked at called a copper mine. the quincy copper mine. we had to wear these yellow hats that were really hard and felt weird on your head so i kept taking it off, but mom kept dropping it when i would hand it to her (she'll tell you something different) and then there was this big huge ball in the middle of this building they said helped the miners bring the copper up from the ground. i can't see how because it was just this big huge ball. i kept telling mom that saying, "BIG BALL!" everyone on our tour with us kept looking at us. i thought it was because we looked so goofy in those hats. and then mom whispered something to dad and then she and i left. it was great after that. i got to run around this museum area and mom chased after me, as usual. we took a walk outside too while we waited for dad to finish the tour.
when we left the mine we went back across the bridge in the next picture to go to the other town (we were in hancock at the mill where mom's daddy was born and his daddy worked at that mine) and we were staying in houghton. we ate dinner at this place called the library, which seemed too perfect with all the books lined up in there (just like our house). i had a hot dog and french fries (one of my two favorite meals...okay, it's one of the only two meals i will eat) and mom and daddy had other food and had these drinks called beer (i had to have milk). i had been wiggling around so mama sat me on her lap. when mama wasn't looking i took her glass and sipped on that beer! it was pretty good. i didn't see the big deal, but people around us were giggling and mama got all red in the face and upset (not at me...i think cause she actually missed something i did that i wasn't supposed to!) and daddy said it was time to go. ugh. it was okay though because we got to walk along the water -- yup, MORE water -- and got to see a boat go by.
when we got back to the motel we got to go swimming. they had a pool just for me! it was only a foot deep so i got to walk around and kick water at daddy and play with all my new swimming and beach toys we bought just for our trip. i got really cold after a while though, so mama wrapped me up in both of our towels and took me up to our room to warm up and get ready for bed. little did she know i was no where near sleepy! she let me lay in her and daddy's bed with my new stuffed bear i bought with my money that grandmama gave me for my trip and my blanket. she and daddy were doing stuff around the room and i wanted to get down off that really big, tall bed and i accidentally rolled right off! it didn't hurt, but boy did it scare them! ha ha! it was funny. they were checking me for bumps and bruises, but i was already all banged up from my rough week the week before, so who could tell what was new or old! really, i was okay. it was the best to see them come running though. they made me go to bed after that.
