Summer fun!

Hello! I have decided to start a blog to try and keep everyone up to date with what I have been up to! This past summer I was back on Mackinac Island and it was a busy summer! This was my first year as the Lead Historic House Interpreter; the job was a lot of work, but it was worth the long hours. I had five new staff members to train, so it was both challenging and entertaining! My job was a new adventure everyday! This blog will be mostly pictures, but I will make sure to put captions so you know what is going on! I hope this helps and feel free to call me anytime to catch up!

Here is a little of what I have been up to......

Waiting for the first kickball game of the season!
LeeAnn, Janna, Ashlee, Cat, Jessica, and me.

Craftie love!

Claire, Rachael, Amy, and me.

The first night the Pub Runners were at the pub. How I miss live Irish music.

We often go ballroom dancing at the Grand. This was the first Grand night of the season.

Dave, Kim and I on my 21st birthday! :)

Kim and I at the Gate House. We did a bar crawl and it was AMAZINGLY FUN, but I have no desire to do it again.

Me and Kim having a good time! We took our time on the crawl and had an AWESOME night out on the town!

This is just a great picture! So random!

The boys marching to their skirmish drill that they made Claire and I get up for so we could take pictures for them.

This is what happens when you make Claire and I get up at 7 to take picture of the boys playing around in blue wool.

The boys and their riffles.

Jared is on a mission...or so it seems.

The boys playing.

The last hug of the season with Geoff....right before Geoff got on the boat to go home. :(

Andrea and I looking BEAUTIFUL at the Grand.

Sandy and I looking gorgeous and enjoying a night of dancing at the Grand.

My last fire of the season in the Biddle House. I miss cooking over an open fire!:(

We melted a pot holder in the dutch over. It smelled horrible, but the apple spice bread that Andrea cooked was rather AWESOME!

Confussed


Surprised or shocked!


Sad....well I am trying, but laughing too hard.
I love how much random stuff you can do with digital cameras! :)
