So we did end up staying at Goose Berry Falls. There were so many trees, that I could barely see the sites next to us. The campground was right next to Lake Superior, so Sammy and the rest of us went down to the shore a lot. Of course Sammy loved it. ;) There were some biking and hiking trails that we did that led right up to the falls. The falls we cool, but Shane read that there were leaches in the falls and river! I've never even seen a leach before, I'm not sure that I want to though. :)
We stayed at Gooseberry Falls for two nights, then went to Cornucopia, Wisconsin! And guess what!? We went sailing! Jack LOVED it! Our guide, Todd, let Jack steer in the beginning. And he and I got to go up on the front of the boat! I didn't think Jack would ever want to get off. Through out the hour that we had, Todd let us all steer. It was scary and awesome for me. Even if you move the wheel a little bit, the boat will turn really fast, so you had to be careful. Near the end when Shane, mom, and I were at the front, big waves kept hitting the boat so we got pretty wet. :D
Now we are right next to Lake Superior again at Ontonagon, Michigan. Ontonagon Township Park Campground Website Shane and I went in a canoe while my mom and dad each went in kayaks on the lake. It ok, but not as fun as the peddle boats. My mom and dad had fun though. I forgot how hard it is to steer a canoe. We might be leaving tomorrow, or maybe stay another day. I hope we stay another day, this is my favorite "beachy" area of Superior.
My mom told me that we will be in Maryland in about to weeks. Yay! The three kids are suppose to be staying at my Aunt and Uncle's beach house! But since we can't put the RV or Sammy there, my mom and dad are staying at a campground with Sammy. I'm not sure where it is though. Oh yeah! By the way, we started up school a couple days ago. It's kinda weird doing school on the road. But for some reason it fills normal. We've only really started math but we are adding more subjects as we go. But what really stinks lately is that Jack and I are sick. I'm getting better but Jack is still pretty stuffed up. I think it was just a cold. It's not fun being sick on the road. :(
I think we might be spending a little more time in Michigan to tour around since everybody seems to like it here. Especially me.

Wow, all that boating sounds like fun, especially sailing, and being able to steer the sail boat must have been exciting. I bet Jack will want to do more sailing in the future. I've never been to Lake Superior. I would like to go there some day. Good thing Shane told you about the leeches before you got in the water. Continue writing your blog, I love reading about all of your adventures.
ReplyDeleteHi, Connie!
DeleteBy the way, the weather is cooling off here. My garden is on it's last leg. I was able to get two cucumbers off your plant, but the water melon had a short life. It split open before it fully matured, I'm not sure what caused it to split. It only grew to the size of a large orange. I'll try again next year maybe I'll have better luck.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your next blog.
Michigan is a beautiful state, especially the area that you all are in. I haven't been there, but I understand it gets really cold in the winter.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were going to Maryland so quickly--I thought that was to be at Christmas time. You'll enjoy the beach, I'm sure.
Leeches are pretty awful. When I was a little girl, we would go wading in the creek on the farm and I always got them between my toes. You have to pull them off--they fasten on very closely so they can suck some blood. I'm glad you all didn't have to deal with them!
Sailing on a lake is lovely, and also on a river. I get really sick on the ocean, though, so I won't be doing that again. I sailed on the Queen Mary 2 from Southampton, England to New York. Never again!!!
I hope you and Jack are over your colds by now.
Love,
Grandma
I can understand wanting to stay in Michigan! Will you have a chance to visit Mackinaw Island? Taking the 5th wheel over Mackinac Bridge might be pushing it a bit but that is beautiful country. I enjoy following your blog and miss your family on our street. Keep up the posts and good luck with your studies! Sheryl
