Michigan Week 3

Now onto Week 3 - and what a great week it was!

it started out with my little sister and I going shopping at Somerset. and we had a blast, of course!

When we got home, we made some parfaits for FHE desserts

mmm YUMMY!

We had a couple craft projects going on this week too, starting with some CLAY projects:

I made this turtle into a keychain and gave it to Chad as a pre-hawaii gift...

and made the strawberry into a cellphone strap :D

with the roses that we made, we decided to make some jewelry!

The finished products:

my sister's ring :)

and my necklace!

This was the first time I made jewelry like this, so i was pretty excited about the way it turned out!

I am still working on my other necklace, so more pictures will be posted later!!

Lastly, how can we have a craft-week, without making any headbands?!??
so we made some headbands...{only 2 of them pictured here}

my favorite that i've made so far!

Noa and I also had the chance to visit my dad at work....

 and Noa was able to see for the first time - how robots are made/how they work!

On the day we left, our family went on a picnic at our county park...
it was the perfect day for a picnic!

sunny and bright, better wear that sunscreen!

We made some good food! - including this patriotic cake in early celebration of the 4th of July.

We spent some time on the playground...

the swing put Noa right to sleep.....

Along with playing volleyball on the HOT sand and throwing around a frisbee, we enjoyed some quiet peaceful time with nature.

on the lake

with some animals...

It was such a great day - and a fabulous 3 weeks at home with my family.
