Yay! I'm finally caught up to date on my RV trip (punishment) blog. So todhe ay we went to Mackinaw Island. We took the ferry, along with like 300 other people who decided too, which was actually leaving at 11 (on the hour) not 11:30 like my mom had thought. We didn't have to walk though! We got a shuttle to take us there! We got on and it took off right away. But not before blowing it's horn and scaring the crap out of Mia. Ha Ha. It was about a 10 to 15 minute ride, and was very nice. We got to the dock and got off. What did you think we would do, stay on? We imediatley went to the carriage ride tours of the island. It was really fun. We saw the Grand Hotel, (BORING) we saw most of the island, and we went to a butterfly museum. Very pretty. I got some good pictures. Then we got back on another carriage and went through the national park. Whas really funny is that even if you pick a blade of grass you were fined 50 dollars. The state flower or rarer flowers like orchids were a 500 dollar fine. The driver told us about the time when a little girl picked some flowers and it was a 1500 dollar fine. The look on her mothers face, though, priceless. We continued on and then we saw some people riding on horses. Well you could tell right away from looking at this girl that she had no clue how to ride a horse. (Blonde, Flip Flops, short shorts, blonde... not to be stereotypical) (She probably would have gotten on backwards if they hadn't helped her up, I'm pretty sure!) Well she was leaning so far back in the saddle that she was almost laying down. Then her horse trots over to the grass away from the group of 3, and starts kneeling down on his front legs, (so he's on his knees) She would of tipped forward if she wasn't leaning back so far. Then he got up, and runs her into a bush, stays there for a couple minutes, then starts eating grass. It was so funny. Finally he prances back over to the group like nothing had happened. It was hilarious. We finished the tour and I went to Star Bucks and got a Mocha Coconut Frapachino, (I think I spelled that wrong) It was really good. Then we went, boarded the ferry again, and caught the shuttle bus to go back to the RV. I ended up reading. But it got boring so I took out my guitar and played for a long time, while mom went to walk bella and mia to the beach. My dad was outside whittling. lol. When my mom came back to walk Biscotti I went with her. But Biscotti wouldn't come so we went by ourselves, and I ended up finding a fossil. (we had already found a couple in the past days but this one had a few) When we returned I went to the little camp store for some fire starter and built the fire! Finally girl scouts has kinda payed off. We made s'mores, and I sat at the picnic table updating my blog, while fighting of misquitoes. They're annoying little buggers. I'm so funny ha ha.... Nevermind. But it's time to go to bed, well more or less I'll probably read until 12.
Night! Don't let the misquitoes bite!
