The Wedding
The wedding was beautiful, and well planned. I saw so many old friends that I rarely run into because I'm on the West Coast....

Mushroom Hunting
Dave, Greta the Dog, me, Dad and Diane, hiking in the Jordan River Valley
My dad took us out on a mushroom hunting hike one day which was so much fun! We collected oyster mushrooms and tiny puffballs, and then he and Diane cooked them up for dinner. So tasty! They also made a fantastic golabki, or stuffed cabbage leaves, with quinoa as the stuffing. You will never leave my dad's house hungry!!
Dave took some awesome photos of the mushrooms we found- both edible and not- but I'm having diffculties uploading them....so perhaps they will be posted in the future.
Kayaking in Northern Michigan
Dave and I went kayaking down the Sturgeon River with my mom. I've gotten used to the wild mountain rivers of the Pacific Northwest...so it was a wonderful thing to once again be in the tannin soaked brown meandering rivers of Michigan. We scared up at least one heron, and had a beautiful day to float down the river.

Afterwards, we celebrated my birthday with dinner in Indian River, and cake and presents at home. Denny even ate some cake (a thing he isn't typically found doing!). My mom made me some awesome felted wool mittens for Antarctica. Lovely!
