We decided to get away for a weekend and enjoy a Pure Michigan vacation. We stayed in Omena (near Traverse City) and visited all the local hot spots...Sleeping Bear Dunes, lighthouse, shoreline, quaint towns, coffee, donuts, fresh bread, etc, etc. We had a wonderful time and we are looking forward to another Pure Michigan adventure next year.

After a summer of soccer skills training we decided to make the leap to an actual team...if you're going to do it, do it right, right??? Maddie is having a blast and each game her skills and understanding of the game keep improving. She said her favorite part is "running." A girl after my own heart. Plays through October and will start again in the spring. We are so fortunate that Maddie did not get placed on a team with the criers and those that prefer to look at the grass instead of the ball. Her team is the Space Rangers...she immediately asked if Buzz Lightyear would be showing up.
