Learning to Love Michigan

Like I said before we are finding ways to love Michigan. Also like I said before one of the cool things of Battle Creek are the balloons.

We were switching bedrooms around and I heard a very familiar sound. I heard the roar of a balloon engine (that is probably not what it is called but oh well). I hollered  for Brian and he and Ellie ran out side. Boy we get excited easy. Right away Brian put the kids in the car and we were off for a balloon chase. That is fun. Ellie was so excited and was always looking for the balloon. We followed it all the way until it landed.

Fun times!!!

Learning to Love Michigan

There are some cools things about Battle Creek. One of them is that we get to see hot air balloons. In July we get the Air Show and in August we get the Hot Air Balloon Competition.

The first two are at the balloon illume and the last three are above our house the morning of our garage sale.

Learning to Love Michigan

It seems that we will be in Michigan for longer than we had anticipated. So we are finding new places that make us feel good about being here.

In August we went to South Haven. I had been there before but I was a teenager then and not really interested in my surroundings unless they involved boys. 

Anyways, we got there and instantly fell in love with the town, the beach and the lighthouse. It is our new favorite spot.

We then went back in September when Brian had a delivery there. it was too cold for the water but not for the sand and a stroll along the lighthouse.
