Claire snapped a few photos on our nature hike at Teichner Preserve. We had a nice time on this short hike with a nice view of Lime Lake at the end of the trail!

Here's a picture taken by Claire of three deer we saw on one of our evening drives along M-22 south of Leland a couple of nights ago. We saw around forty deer total including seven of them playing right alongside one of the back roads on the way home.
Claire's cousin Isaiah shot his first deer this morning during the youth hunt.
Here's a bonus photo!
I have some Google Alerts setup for certain keywords and one of them is "Steck". Steck isn't a very common last name (at least in northern Michigan) so it's fun to to learn about others out there. Every so often someone interesting (and famous) turns up and this time it was mountain climber Ueli Steck. Check out the video below and then the link to see some of the amazing and daring climbs he has made.

Here's a few photos of our spring planting. The kids had fun and were very good helpers. Hopefully I'll be able to post some photos later of our flowers and vegetables growing! The girls helped Mary plant some containers on the deck and the boys helped me plant beans and a corn fort in the backyard.
