Visit From Heather and Jennifer

Heather and Jennifer are with us and we’re having fun now.  The weather has been great and so we are out every day.

Sunday we took the boat out and went for a little trip south to explore Arcadia Lake, a harbor of refuge port about 10 miles south of Frankfort.  It is a little, shallow lake with many cottages and not much commercial development, but a fun place to travel to.  Attached is a picture of Heather and Jennifer on the boat. 

Monday was jet ski day!!!  We launched the jet skis into Lake Michigan and buzzed north to Point Betsie Lighthouse, a 6-7 mile trip.  Great day even though we learned, AFTER we got there, that the lighthouse is only open Friday thru Sunday!  Attached are a number of photos from that trip.  What you can’t see is how hard it was to re-launch the jet skis from the beach.  More waves were coming onto shore than we realized, so getting the heavy jet skis back into the water was not do-able until some guy put his muscles into the task also…without him we’d still be there.  Always an adventure!

Tuesday all four of us went to play golf.  Heather and I were “cart executives” (read cart drivers), and Emery and Jennifer had a good round of golf.  Jennifer loved my driver, so I am going to have to screen her luggage before she leaves!

Wednesday was a shopping and beach day except for Emery who was trying to fix the boat.  We developed an electrical problem overnight and the boat doesn’t run.   Seeing we want to go to Leland on Thursday,  Emery is working to get the boat back in shape.  I am sure BOAT (bring out another thousand) is going to come into play!!

Today, we drove Jennifer to Leland so that she could join her friends for the week-end.  Your guess is correct--we did not get the boat fixed in time to take her by boat.  More on the boat problem later.  Heather will be with us until Sunday morning. 

So our fun summer continues to roll along.  We are enjoying…hope you are too.
