My Michigan Memory: Sublime Summertime in Michigan

I'm linking up with Mrs. Weber's Neighborhood for My Michigan Memory! Go on and check out the 'hood, and while you're there, enter to win a family 4-pack of tickets to Midland Center for the Arts, which has a Bob the Builder exhibit now through August 18th! If you're a blogger, you can link up your own My Michigan Memory post for extra entries in the contest!


The following is taken from a post I wrote at the end of last summer. It's a little run-down in pictures of some of our favorite times last summer. Sometimes I complain about living in Michigan (usually in the dead of winter...), but summertime is a lovely time to live in the Mitten State!


It really, really was such a fabulous summer. As always, I'm sorry we didn't get more in before the start of the new school year. But we concentrated a lot on doing nothing this summer too - which definitely has its own charms!

    Happy back to school to you. Happy end of summer, happy fall.
