Michigan Adventures!

We have been staying with our friends the Zielinskis in Michigan! It has been so much fun over the past few weeks. We have been to four baseball games, eaten hot dogs, visited Mackinac Island (which is an Island at the very top of Michigan and is located in Lake Heron), and also Chicago (the windy city!) and have made many new friends!

Going to our first ever baseball game with friends!
