You Scream, I Scream, We all Scream for Ice Cream

You Scream, I Scream, We all Scream for Ice Cream!

I made Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream, it is not lasting long in this house of boys! Have a great Saturday!

I am teaming up with Lori at Life, Love and Laughter in a Large Family for Think Quotes! Did I get you to think about Ice Cream. :)

On the Road Friday

Summit Peak Tower Trail

Porcupine Mountains

Ontonagon, Michigan

Summit Peak

The hike to Summit Peak Tower is nice for all levels of hikers. It is worth the effort! This short trail leads to Summit Peak, at 1,958 feet, the highest point in the park. A viewing deck and observation tower provide outstanding views of the park.

Photos are taken from up top of the tower. If you look close, you can see a black and white smoke stack, that is the White Pine Mine of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. At this time, the mine is closed.

The map explains what you should be able to see. This all depends on the clarity of the day.

Happy Friday!

It is Fair Time!

We will be visiting the Northern Wisconsin State Fair this weekend for the first time. We like to take in fairs. I grew up participating in 4-H. I sold a sheep every year at the Price County Fair at our Market Animal Sale. I will never forget my first lamb I sold. Yes, I cried, I loved him so much. His name was Washington.It is fun to visit different fairs to see what the kids are up to and how things have changed. States or counties do different activities or judge exhibits differently, we find it interesting. Last year we took in the Montana State Fair that was a lot of fun. Check out the beautiful ribbons the folks receive.

I decided to do a trip back in time...ready, set, back in time to 2008!

Barron County Fair

Our boys participated in 4-H and look how excited they are to be involved with all the fun activities our county fair provides.

A sweet heart with two boys.

My favorite! Sheep! Do you want to come home with me?

What's up Doc?

Hey buddy, what pen are you suppose to be in?

How about you? Do you like to go to fairs? What is one of your favorites? What do you like to do at the fair? Besides eating cotton candy :) Hee Hee, I love cotton candy. My hubby always buys me a bag to bring home.

Have a great time getting out and exploring!
