Whitefish Bay / Lake Superior

A couple of weeks ago we headed to Paradise, Michigan to go to the Blueberry Festival. We weren't very impressed, so we decided to visit the beach so Patrick could play. This is on Whitefish Bay, part of Lake Superior. We liked this NOAA weather station and lighthouse.

That is Canada across the bay. They have some windmills up on the ridge.





Patrick is pretty curious and it was impossible to keep him out of the water.

Chippewa County Fair

We visited the Chippewa County Fair this weekend. It was a typical county fair. We loved seeing the animals. Here is Patrick in front of his first pig.Patrick decided to pick the cow's nose.
Visiting with sheep and a goat.
A mean donkey.
At this moment, the donkey was biting Patrick. Patrick tugged his hand and the donkey didn't let go. Following this moment was a look of surprise once he got his hand back, then a moment of pouting, then the crying. It didn't break his skin, but left a mark and really hurt Patrick's feelings!
