New Celebration

This last semester has been full of being outdoors and experiencing nature celebrations. Looking through all the photos in my phone to choose a specific event really had me looking back at this semester as a whole and remembering everything that I actually did and experienced.

My family lives in Houghton, MI and for a month they are housing a 16 year old from Germany, like an exchange student. He has seen a lot of different things in Houghton and this last weekend I invited my brothers to come to Marquette and visit me for the day so he could see another town in the Upper Peninsula. I woke up Saturday morning and there was 6 new inches of snow on the ground, and when they showed up to town they were not dressed for the new weather. Either way I was determined we go on an outdoor adventure, because that is just what we do in Marquette.

I took them out to Presque Isle and we walked out to Black Rocks. We actually went out to the rocks and we kept falling in deep holes in the snow; keep in mind my brothers had tennis shoes and vans on. Despite what we were up against we had a great time looking out to the lake and breathing all the fresh air. This was one of my favorite times out on Black Rocks.
