Day 16 of the RV trip, July 17

Today we went to church, obviously cause it's sunday. Then we drove into Traverse City to find a target and a low's. We ended up eating lunch at out back and we had to ask directions a couple times to find a target. Ha Ha. I looked at some school supplies and I got a zebra print back pack and a purple calculator!
But seriously I'm tired, it's 11:41 p.m. and I've been updating my blog since like 8 p.m.
Night!

P.S. I'll post more tomorrow, If I remember!

Day 15 of the RV trip, July 16

Okay so today we went to the isolated beach again, we found some sea glass and fossils, same old same old. Ha Ha.
So tonight we are going to the Empire beach with the owners family and a bunch of other people from the camp. To watch the sunset. I ended up hanging out with Evan, he's ten, and his dad owns the place. We made a huge sand castle and like it had a moat that kept filling with water. We even put huge rocks in it so if someone tried to knock it down they would at least break a couple toes. Well can you guess what happened next. Ya his other 3 brothers, one's 7, 14 and the other one is a freshman or something, they took off the rocks and then they knocked it down. They made evan cry! But it's okay because I know that they were just jealous about how awesome we are at making sand castles. I don't hold grudges, actually I don't even know what a grudge is. Oh well, I'll look it up later.
I've got to go to bed!

Day 14 of the RV trip, July 15

 okay so this is a "shed" There is a refridgerator, table and chairs, ice maker, sink, and it opens up so it's like a bar. It's kind of like the play house I never had.

 this is the path way that leads down to a electric fire pit and out door table and chairs. The pond is right in front of it.

 This is another view of the pond from the back of the rv

 

Okay so this is like kinda the patio, I know that It's not a very good picture. I'll try to take more later. The thing thats covered is a grill. 

Yay! I'm happy! We extended our stay at Indigo Bluffs for another week and guess what! We get to stay at the really pretty lot on the pond! Here are some pictures! (UP ABOVE)
We just relaxed all day and rode our bikes around. well my dad and I did!
Well i've got to go!

DAY 13 OF THE RV TRIP CONTINUED I MADE A MISTAKE

Ok so I forgot something. That night Thursday July 14th. We went to a bon fire at the pond at indigo bluffs! It was really nice and we got to meet a ton of people who work there and people who are staying there. There's even a lot for someones RV right on the pond. It's so amazing. It turns out that a lot of people really like small nice chihuahuas. lol who would've known

Day 13 of the RV trip, july 14

Okay so today we went to the isolated beach again, then we went horse back riding. My dad made reservations for a private 2 hour long ride for 3:30. It was so much fun, I've always loved riding horses. My horse's name was Captain. Whats really cool is that the stables do a coast to coast ride, from one side of Michigan to the other. It's a 14 day ride! My butt would be very sore after that! When the trail ride ended we got a couple pictures with the horses. How Touristy! I don't know why but I hate seeming like a tourist, even though I am. Hmm, is that weird... don't answer. Anyways my day was pretty good.

Day 12 of the RV trip, july 13

You know I seriously don't remember what we did today. Probably because it's the 25 and I'm trying to think back to the 13th. How many days is that... I need a calculator.
I think we went to an isolated beach today. Ya we did. Our doctor told us about it. It is so pretty and we found a ton of really cool rocks and fossils. We also brought the dogs with us. It's hilarious to see these tiny dogs trying to get a drink of water, but not knowing that you actually have to be like in the water, you can't just lick the sand. I also discovered that I have an eye for sea glass. After that I think that we went out to get some ice cream and then we went home and watched another DVD.
Oh well thats all I can remember!

Day 11 of the RV trip, tuesday the 12

Do you know how nice it is to wake up, the sun is shining, wait no, the sun isn't shining because I couldn't sleep. So I read for most of the night actually I read Shakespeare's Romeo and Juilet. I love that story! Today we went on a scenic drive, really it was drive a couple 100 feet, stop, get out of the car, take a picture, and then get back in the car. This happened about 20 times. Do you feel my pain! Since we are going to be at Indigo Bluffs we were able to rent a car. That's how we were driving around today. We took a mile and a half long hike on the dunes. Sleeping Bear Dunes. It was really pretty and cool. A lot of people expect Michigan to be a lot like Detroit, and the city. But it's not, it is so pretty and not busy at all. There are cherry farms, wineries, vine yards, small family grocery stores, and there isn't a McDonalds in sight!  We went back to the RV resort and my parents took a nap. BORING! Then we watched "While You Were Sleeping" with Sandra Bullock. It was so funny.
Well I've got to go to bed!

Day 10 of the RV trip. Monday the 11

So we got to Indigo Bluffs, RV Resort, in Empire, Michigan. I have to say it is pretty amazing. The lots are huge, they are like a concrete drive way, there are wild flowers everywhere, the landscaping is so beautiful, and there are no misquotes. They have a huge heated pool too. We mostly just relaxed all day. well I've got to go.

Day 8 of the RV trip. Saturday the 9th.

So what did I do today. Hmmm...
I woke up at 11:30, got on my swim suit, put the leashes on the dogs, remembered that I had to eat breakfast, took the dogs out, and then ate breakfast, well lunch. I decided that I wanted to go to the beach, just to keep my parents out of my hair. I took bella with me and as I'm walking down the dirt road that leads to it this kid like literally almost runs me over with his bike. He pretty much hung out with me the whole day. Now I know that this isn't nice, but he was weird, compared to me. Don't get me wrong, he was nice and all. But we are just acquaintances or
f r i e n d s. It ended up that his sister, him, and I. His names Garrett, his sister's name is Gabbie/gabby. idk. We built this HUGE sand castle that was totally frickin awesome. Complete with a moat and all that stuff. We even found clay that didn't absorb water, so we used that for the moat too. When we were done Gabbie/Gabby and I rode our bikes around the camp. I hardly even almost recked once! (twice) I painted her nails.... and Garrett's too. We went for another bike ride and when we got to the beach. Someone had completely flattened our entire sand castle. They even took the time to seperate the rocks into piles, they buried the clay, and then the filled in the moat! They even had the nerve to build a sand castle right next to it! But hey karma will get them one day!
Well, we are leaving tomorrow for indigo bluffs. Can't wait...
Night,

The 7th day of the RV trip. July 8th. Posted on July 25

Wow! I haven't updated my blog in like.... well a long time. I'm not good at counting. So we went back into Mackinaw City, my dad wanted another pocket knife. His wasn't sharp enough because he decided that he would take up whittiling for a hobby. So not embarrassing. I wanted the knew Pretty Little Liars book "Twisted." But they were sold out! Bummer. We walked around a little bit  and then came back to the camp.
I'm sorry that this post is so short, but I can't really remember what we did.
