Around Town

Sarah's class had a walking field trip around Grand Blanc today. First we went to Physician's Park to eat lunch.



Mmmm...Lunchables....



A whole gaggle of kids...



After all the kids were rounded up from the playground, we headed over to the Grand Blanc Police Station. The kids were completely fascinated with this place.



They even got to check out a cell. Judging from the smiling faces, they fail to see the gravity of the situation.





After the police station, we walked over to the post office. This is Sandy. She's been at the Post Office for 20 years.



Last but not least, we marched over to Ziggy's, a local ice cream shop. It was surprisingly quite easy to get 24 kids an ice cream cone without much crying and screaming. Nice.



Vanilla girl...



It was a great day. Nice to hang out with my favorite 6 year old. She seemed happy to hang out with me, too. Next week, I get to do it with Cora.

750

That's how much money we made at our yard sale this past weekend. It was a BEAUTIFUL weekend for hanging out with family and selling a bunch of junk. We had fun. Andrew and I are both a bit sunburned and tired, but had a great weekend.

We also went to the drive-in Sunday night and saw Indiana Jones. Sarah fell asleep about 10 minutes into it. She had a hard weekend; she threw up a few times Sat night. I think the sun, sugar, and trampoline contributed to her downfall.

Here are a couple photos from our weekend. The first couple are my nephew James eating a 'gutbuster'. This is a bratwurst stuffed with shredded cheddar cheese, wrapped in bacon, wrapped in batter then deep-fried. Then it's topped with mustard and sauerkraut. The bun is pretty much worthless, but good nonetheless. Don't think about how BAD this treat is for you; just eat it.






Then there's Cora. She found my clown costume in the yard sale and decided that it would help her and Solomon sell lemonade.
