Our Trial Run

Our first trial run was to Petoskey, MI, south of the Mackinaw bridge. We got to stay at an RV park, grilling, open our awning (or as Kik says) yawning. and all the other fun things you do on an RV trip. Z-man had a soccer tournament there and so we took a family trip. The soccer field was about 7 mi. away from the campground and of course, having Dad along, we had to bike there. Dad biked there and back to check out the road and then did it again with Z-man and again while pulling Kik in the trailer! But he said he enjoyed it. The trip was VERY hilly and tiring. When we finally got there, we watched Z-man's soccer game and turned around and rode back! Although Z-man was the one with the most pain and anguish because he had to bike there, play soccer and then bike back. Despite the agonizing bike trip we had a good time and had some beautiful weather. Unfortunately Z-man tied one soccer game and lost the other two, but the last game was very close. Now to the funny animal pictures. On the way home, we unexpectedly got to stop at the Garlyn Zoo. It is a small zoo but lots of fun. They have peacocks, baby pigs, cats and chickens roaming around. They also have wolves, goats, llamas, lemurs, a bear, a puma, a camel and even a buffalo! It was really funny when Dad decided to pet the llama while he was eating. After a few pats, the llama turned, looked straight at Dad and then spit all over him!
The peacocks were very pretty, they were just roaming around and some were even high up in trees! I loved taking pictures of them because they would just sit there and pose for me!
We had a great trip,
