Update! 4/29

Recertification finalized (finally!) and my first substitute teaching gig in Michigan is tomorrow at the elementary school in Kingsford. So excited! All this free time is making me go a little crazy.

The last week we've been running with Jack at the Fumee Lake Natural Area in Norway, Michigan.  


It's about 15 minutes away from our house.  There are miles and miles of trails that circle Little Fumee Lake, Big Fumee Lake, and a mountainous area nearby.  


Jack has been enjoying the freedom of being back in the woods - and swimming every chance he gets. 


The water is absolutely freezing (the lakes are still mostly frozen) but we almost have to drag him away when it's time to go. He was still pretty little at the end of last summer and would only swim to go after a tennis ball.   It's nice to see him just dive right in and swim around without any coaxing. 



This weekend we are going to the Wisconsin Dells - the Waterpark Capital of the World! The town is about four hours away and has over sixty water parks, amusement parks, and attractions. So far the weather is looking like it will be nice for us, but the BEST part is that there are indoor water and theme parks just in case! For example, the Mt. Olympus Indoor Water Park has a water slide that is ten stories tall. The building that houses Kalahari Indoor Theme Park is over 100,000 square feet and contains a full-size Ferris wheel that is six stories tall! It also has laser tag, go karts, and ziplining.  There will definitely be pictures to come. :)
