Because I’m on a beach in St. Joe’s, MI right now, I’m allowing Mommy to write my experience “Tearing Down the Fair.” Gotta’ go, the waves are calling me.
So this was Morgan’s first year participating in what the Macy Family calls, “Tear Down.” Just like the Snack Shack, the 4-H Fair is a family tradition. However, if you ask me, The Momma, it’s more like “Family Torture,” but that’s besides the point. I’m very happy to say that Morgan jumped in with both feet and picked right up with debulbing the light lines with Mema while Pepa and myself coiled light lines and disconnected wires. She did get a little bored from time to time, but during her bursts of helping, it was safer to just stay out of her way and DO NOT try and horn in on her bulb job unless you wanted a little attitude. Mema witnessed, experienced, and lived to tell about one such diva outburst.
The coolest part for MorganLee was when Pepa took her high into the sky on “The Lift.” She loved riding around and going up and down with Pepa at the controls. The best part was hearing her belt out the “Nifty Fifty United States” while Pepa was bringing down the overhead lines. After a few up and downs, it was time to head to Gigi’s for yet another adventure…St. John’s Beach in Michigan. Stay tuned…and Pepa, anytime you want to play in the lift, call me. I’m your girl!!
Parker and I just wanted to wish a Happy 24th Birthday to Uncle TC! Love ya’! Also, congrats on your new place. Mommy says it’s really nice. Parks and I will have to check out your new digs soon!
Saturday started out with a run to Denny’s for a fun breakfast of pancakes with whipped cream and cherries. Parker really liked the sausage patties, but didn’t really care much for the pancakes (he is a carnivore!). We came home to put him down for nap, then packed up to head north to Indiana Beach!
We walked in and made a bee-line to Kiddieland, only stopping for a quick ride on the bumper boats along the way. We checked out the scene for a bit before the rest of our kiddie-krew arrived: Aunt Carrie, Uncle Manata, Riley, and Taylor! We all jumped straight on the rides and kicked off the day that would consist of spinning round and round on various cars, boats, motorcycles, ponies, whales, etc. Riley and I became ride buddies and wore each other out riding everything we saw…sometimes 2 or 3 times in a row! Taylor and Parker held down the wagon and kept track of the Goldfish crackers for a while, but they had fun on the carousel and watching the daredevils laugh in the face of fear on those crazy rides. We finally kicked out of there waaaay after bedtime, but it was so much fun that I was still recounting the adventures on Sunday morning when I woke up!

Good luck in your tournament tomorrow, Papa! Golf big!
What!?! 5th post in July, already?!? Busy kids are busy!
We got up today and sent Daddy on his way to another round of Canal Days while the Mommies and kiddos jumped, splashed, kicked, and soaked in the refreshing pool at Mema and Pepa’s house.
