Our Fourth of July Vacation! Part 1

We had a great vacation! On Thursday, we drove out to our uncle and aunt's house in Muskegon. They went to Missouri to visit their children (our cousins) and offered to let us stay in their house while they were gone.


The first day we were there, we went to the channel and Dad and the boys fished. Lydia and I ran around with Annie (the Orlando's dog we were dog-sitting) and had some fun taking pictures. While we didn't go into the naval museum, we saw the submarine, coast guard cutter and the other outside things.

The Silversides--this is the submarine that they have there. It is actually a national monument.

"Oh, why won't they just let me jump in?"

While we were fishing, a large freighter came through.

Lots of little ducklings!

Here you can see how large the boat was. To see it maneuvere through the channel was interesting! The depth chart on the side said it was 26 feet under the water!

Isn't water pretty?

Swans are too!

The houses are picturesque, but as Lydia pointed out, "I wouldn't want people continually staring at MY house, watching everything I do!"





See you later!
