More and More adventures!

This has been a lovely summer. My friend Jeff came back from Indiana and it was a day of much rejoicing. He and my friend Molly (it's confusing, yes) have decided to ditch their vegetarian ways...in theory, except they wimped out for our bonfire and weended up roasting veggie italian sausages which were really quite delicious. Then we ate smores till we thought we would die...it was great

Then Jeff and I and a couple of our friends went up to Michigan! Tim and Liam are working at the Interlochen art camp so we visited them and went camping in the national park literally across the street.On the way up we also discovered the lovely town of Charlevoix, Michigan and it's summer carnival which made us about 45 minutes later than we planned...the upper peninsula of Michigan is a really lovely place. This whole trip was totally amazing and Michigan was beautiful. I wish I had pictures of the lake on the day we went swimming–the water looked like something from a tropical island, turqoise and see through. It was awesome. But I don't have pictures because we ran down a dune so steep, I realized midway through "running" (I don't really have a good word for the action downhill that was keeping me from just falling) that the clouds were sideways from the angle. So now I'm in appleton for a while with no exciting plans till I head back home for a brief bit :)

There were also these little ballroom dancing kids at the festival that were completely amazing. we sat and watched them for a while totally transfixed


I've been working at Build-A-Bear which is adventures galore. It's actually pretty cute though :) This weekend I'm here and not working so I'm not even sure what I'll be doing. My friend Jeff just came back to Appleton so I'm excited to hang with him! And then next weekend we're going up to visit Tim at Interlochen in Michigan which I cannot wait for! It's so beautiful up there! Post pictures when I get back :D

Summer in wisco

So summer is strolling along. Thanks to everyone who sent b.day wishes! My birthday was pretty great–a group of friends and I went out to some bars and had fun without having too much fun :D

I've gotten a couple of part time jobs around here so this summer should end up quite alright! There's been some random adventures around here. On the 2nd of July Tim called and said he was going to Chicago and a bunch of our friends live down there so i found a ride and with little to no planning went on a spontaneous adventure to Chicago!



we hung out in my friends mike and jacob's apartment most nights. We spent the 4th of july on their roof with fireworks going off in every direction for hours! It was pretty fantastic.





and then here are some random pictures. The first one is from chicago, at my friend's annie, clare and peter's house where a tiny baby was getting passed around :) the next two are from a marshmallow bonfire Tim, Jeff and I made and the last one is typical Jacob on the front lawn with his banjo from the end of school



Going to Milwaukee this weekend and Michigan in 2 weeks! Summer of adventure!
