Flat Stanley in Michigan
Wednesday, May 27, 2015
I made a visit to beautiful
Northern Michigan (near Boyne City on Lake Charlevoix) to visit my Great Uncle
Jay and Great Aunt Linda. Michigan is the “Great Lake State”, the 26th
state to enter the USA on Jan 26, 1837.
The state bird is the
Robin and there is a Robin’s nest on the front porch with 4 eggs in it, we are
patiently waiting for them to hatch so we can use the front door again!
I also got to see some deer that came right up
to the house. Uncle said they were coming to eat the Hosta plants, which is
their favorite food.
Uncle and Auntie took
me around to visit with all their interesting and friendly neighbors and even
got to see a lot of special birds. My favorite were the Peacocks who come to
the back yard and feed off the leftovers from their bird feeders. It is so much
fun to watch them roam around the yard.
I got to see many
beautiful sunsets on Lake Charlevoix, it is a beautiful lake!

They took me on a
road trip to Frankenmuth where we had a wonderful chicken dinner and I even
gained some weight, I needed that so it was good. We also visited Bronner’s the
world’s largest Christmas store where I saw Santa and all his elves busy making
Christmas presents for everybody.

Uncle Jay took me for
a long motorcycle ride on his Harley Davidson and it sure was fun to go
fast. Uncle is a good and safe rider and
always wears his helmet. We rode to Boyne Mountain Ski and Golf Resort and it
is a beautiful place. On the way home we rode through the cherry orchards and
the blossoms were pretty and fragrant.
Me and Uncle Jay after motorcycling, sure was cold at
Boyne Mountain!

I went to Church with
them to Boyne City at Saint Matthew’s Catholic Church and prayed real hard for
all my friends and relatives.
We also got to go
sailing and boating on Lake Charlevoix and Lake Michigan that was very exciting
for me because it was my first time on a sailboat and I didn’t get seasick!

Every night before I
went to bed Aunt Linda would read me a story.
My favorites were the
story about the Kolb Brothers of the Grand Canyon and Michigan Lighthouses. They
were very interesting.
She is a very good
reader and her soft voice made me sleepy. She was so good to me.
Uncle Jay even put me
on his blog spot so everyone can read about my adventures in Michigan. Please
check it out when you have a chance:
I love Michigan and
hope to come back someday maybe with Gigi and her family that would be so much
fun.
