My Second weekend in Michigan was Labor day weekend, I know I'm a bit late with posting this but I wanted to tell about it anyway. With my host family I went to their grandparents cottage in Northport. Northport is located at Grand Traverse Bay in the North of Michigan. It was Grandma's 70th. birthday and on Friday night the family organised a surprise dinner at the country club. After we got back from dinner they build a nice campfire in the backyard.
On Saturday morning I woke up early and took some pictures of the sunrise over Traverse Bay. Grandpa Prepared a big Breakfast with pancakes and bacon and sausages for the whole family. After breakfast I went for a swim in Travers Bay with one of the cousins. The water was much colder then the water in the little lake behind the house I live in, but it is very clear. After that we went to play tennis in Northport. My host sister Jenna players tennis so She is pretty good. I, om the other hand stink at this game. But I love to watch it so I better stick to that (I haven't seen anything of the US Open by the way, who can tell me the who the winners are?).
After lunch we went to Leland. Leland is a place where many tourists go in the summer. My host sister Carrie worked there in clothing store during the summer.
In the evening after dinner we went to play some beach volleyball. Luckily I'm better at volleyball then at tennis. Our team lost the first set, but with uncle Jim coaching us, we won the second and third set.
On Sunday we went to a cute little church in Northport, with the whole Kennedy family there it was pretty full, but in winter, when all the summer guests have left it must be only half full.
In the afternoon we went out on uncle Jim's speedboat and swam a little in the deeper water of Grand Traverse Bay, which was pretty cold.
On Monday after cleaning up, we went back home to Jenison.
