On the first Friday of the twins' school year, I had scheduled a routine ultrasound appointment, since I didn't yet know when their school year would begin. = /
It was an early appointment considering our drive, so we were out the door by 730. They all did a good job being patient, and had to have their bladders full, with a single tech running the controls! On the way each of them had a 'special' drink to help fill the bladders.
Alice and Emily came with us, so while we were in the ultrasound room, Avia, Alice and Emily walked to some yard sales! It was a really pretty day for it, and we scored lots of good things.
Once we had our fill of shopping, we headed north to the Newaygo State Park so that we could check off another box on our checklist!
It was a really pretty campground, and the vistas were beautiful! Alice opted to stay in the car, but everyone else enjoyed exploring. Here they are spelling "LAKE" can you tell?
To make the day more exciting for Alice, we promised ice cream at the end of the day. On our way down from the park to Lowell, where there is an awesome thrift store, we saw signs for a covered bridge! We didn't go that way then, instead shopped and then had some ice cream.
After the ice cream stop, we stopped for gas, then set out to have one last adventure and find the covered bridge!
It was very picturesque, coming around the curve and seeing it. This was in Fallasburg, over the Flat River.
The bank was strange, as it was just a drop from the grass. The water was very clear! The kids were excited to "touch" it!
The kids were happy to do some "rock climbing" before we started our long trek home, except for Alice who sat in the car.
Doctor's visits are no fun, but when Avia is around, we do our best to have some fun and explore our adopted state!
later days
