Day 20 of the RV trip, July 21

Today we had a lazy day, I went outside and read a couple books. I got a lot of sun too. When I finished all of my books I went down to the pond and caught some tad poles. Don't worry I made a little enclosure in the pond out of small rocks, but they are smarter than they look, they figured out how to get out. My dad found this really tiny frog like  t h i s__  big on one of our hoses. It was so cute!
To be honest I really can't remember what we did for most of the days, I keep looking at my texts to friends for clues about what we did... I'm pathetic.

Here's some stuff that I remember, but I can't remember exactly what day, but I know that they happened in the next few days, or later on in the week.
Evan, 10 years old, one of the owners' sons, does petoskey polishing classes. He asked me to take one, so I bought a kit for 3 dollars and got a petoskey stone from the RV. It was pretty fun and messy. After that we got on our bikes and went down to the pond to look for more. But really he was trying to, unsuccessfully, catch frogs.
Thats really all, ha ha.

Day 19 of the RV trip, July 20th

Happy 13th birthday Katie W.! (my best friend) I'm sorry I can't make it to your party on the 22nd, I'm sure you'll understand... don't worry you'll still get a gift.
Okay guess what we did today????!!!! We went to the isolated beach again. We just really like it there, ha ha. I found a ton of sea glass and some really pretty stones. Same with my parents. Some days there is a ton of algae in the water, and it's like super gross. When it's high tide it gets all over the beach and you don't really want to go into the water, because it's so gross. I forgot to mention in my previous posts, there are always a couple pair of swans in the water on the beach. It's really pretty because when the suns setting and they are in the water. We got some really good pictures of them. Ha ha, I say that about everything.

Day 18 of the RV trip, July 19th

I'll try not to bore you with the details. We went to the beach again today. Thats really all. Not much to it. I'm starting to get a little homesick but not much. Our trips going to end soon, but for now I'm just enjoying whats left.

Day 17 of the RV trip, July 18th

12:17 a.m. There's a severe thunder storm going on. The sky literally lights up every second, its like someone taking a picture, with flash on, in the middle of a power outage... at midnight. Although I can't really hear any thunder. It's pretty scary so my dad stayed up with me for a while just watching the storm. He said that this is normal, (all the lightning) because we are on a lake and the ground is so flat, so it lights the sky up more. Unlike Pittsburgh where it's not very flat. But I don't live in the city, so I wouldn't know. The storm went on until 3 a.m. then it moved on. It really cooled down, because as many of you know, if you have access to a tv or computer, we are in a heat wave. Along with like 17 other states, but still. We took the dogs to the isolated beach again today, the waves were kinda rough, but it was still pretty. Then we just came home and relaxed.... shocker.

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!
