Well for the past three weeks, since June 29th until July 22nd I have been in Iron River Michigan. Well minus about five days of traveling there and back, but I have been there enjoying my family and friends. I did a lot while I was there and when I got home I even thought of things I wanted to do and didn't get to or forgot. So here are a few things, but mostly my favorite ones.
5. Picking Strawberries with My mom and Kathi
So every year my father goes to boy scout camp for a week and this year while he was gone, we decided to go pick strawberries. My mom and I went with a good friend of ours named Kathi. We went for about two hours and we picked close to 40 pounds between the three of us. Mom and I did not know why we picked so much and my friend Kathi was going to make jam for friends of hers. So we decided to make angel food and have strawberries on it. It was real good. Then we made fruit pizza and I even brought some back here for Jeri and I. I am going to make some jam with mine, so if you want some, you might need to ask me.
4. Making pasties with my mom
I am sure some of you are wondering what is a Pasty? Well it is real simple. It is pie crust that you make by hand and then you add raw potatoes, onions, and hamburger meat. You also put salt and pepper to it too. It is kind of a Michigan thing. They are really good and easy to make. While we were making them I swear that my great grandma's spirit was with us. See my mom and I use to make them with her a long time ago. She is great woman and I sadly miss her. Anyways if you want to know more about pasties just type in pasties in google and you will find out more.
3. Spending time with my friends
Well I could not wait to get home and see my family and friends. It was great to see Allie and her sister Cami, along with Abbey and other girls that I use to work with. My friend Abbey came running out to the car as soon as I pulled up to Beef A Roo the first day I got home. To see Ron and Fay, people I use to work for, was great too. I did not get to spend a whole lot of time with them, but just the simple things were great. I have to say camping with Allie and Cami was great. We went out to one of the local lakes and had campfires and talked about everything. Those girls are great and help with everything that I need.
2. Spending time with LeRoy
I have to say I was with that boy everyday I was home. My aunt works the midnight shift. So when she gets home at 7 in the morning, he wants to get up and spend time with mommy. I would get a phone call,"Sarah!!! He won't go to sleep. Come and help me." So to the rescue I would come. One morning he was horrible, he kept screaming and I didn't know what to do. Well that day he popped out two teeth. He is chewing everything now and drooling all over me and everyone else. I also kept him over night one night too. He slept all night, but man I could not have a social life that night. It was great to spend time with him. We had loads of fun and it was great to feed him and watch him crawl. Here are some pictures of him. He is so cute!!!
1. Being home with my family! It was just great to see them all and get to be apart of their lives for a short time. It was worth it. Going to the bar with my aunt, visiting with friends, eating dinner with my grandma, and watching movies with my mom.
Well those are my faves of the trip. The next post will be a slide show of all my pictures. They are in no order but at least I tried to take as many as possible.
