Amy's Vacation Log

June 29
First we went to pick up Joleen and Kelsey. Then we got ice. Then we set off to Sterling to stay at Aunt Linda and Uncle Charley's house. Joleen and Kelsey fell asleep, but I kept my mom awake by asking her Brain Quest questions. When we got there Joleen + Kelsey woke up. The grown-ups talked, but Kelsey + I didn't talk, we played. When Kelsey + I got tired of playing we asked our mothers if they would take us across the bridge so that we could play in the river. Just then a dragonfly flew past us and perched on a stick near us. I crept up to the dragonfly and put my finger in front of its perch. After a little while it climbed onto my fingers. I walked slowly so it wouldn't fly away. Joleen took a picture. Then it flew away.

Today we went to the beach in Tawas. Kelsey + I had a good time. We also met a little girl at the age of 4 named Alexa. Today we're heading for Blind River where the boy's will meet us today if we get there early enough and tomorrow if we don't make it early enough.
