Sister Lakes, Michigan

Driftwood

Superman Ice cream

Blue Moon

We went out for ice cream for my sister's birthday party. We had Blue Moon ice cream, which we only ever had in Michigan. I said Blue Moon ice cream tastes like Michigan and we started talking about our memories from there.

We always got Blue Moon ice cream at the Cone Dock, which isn't there anymore. That place had a little arcade and tons of ice cream flavors. Blue Moon was cool because they only had it in Michigan. They also had Superman ice cream, which had Blue Moon in it. Superman ice cream was cool because it turned lavender as it melted.

We also went to Driftwood for ice cream, more so when the Cone Dock closed. They had Beanie Babies there, so my sister loved going.

Another cool place to visit was the Jesus House. This house was a short walk from our cabin. It had signs everywhere with Bible quotes and crazy paranoid phrases. Their car was 100% covered with bumper stickers. They had nailed signs to the trees. The front yard was covered with signs like a political convention. Even the outside of their house wasn't safe from the wrath of Jesus love. The windows were covered up with Bible verses. Walking past that house was always fun.

On the way back from the Jesus house was the 3,647,489-year-old Antique store that had not been occupied in about 300 years. When I was little, my sister told me it was haunted and some gross guy lived in there. The place terrified me since. I couldn't find any pictures of it, but my dad said it was still there.

My parents went to Wick's Apple House often. It was a short drive from our cabin and is located in the middle of nowhere. It had fresh fruit and vegetables, a gift shop and a small restaurant that was added later. It's a neat place and I highly recommend it. According to their website, they are located in Dowagiac. However, for some reason when I go to the website, it says their account has been suspended. Last time I checked they were still in business.....

I have some cool memories of Michigan since my family has been going every summer since right when I was born to about my senior year of high school. Since my brother and older sister never let me hang out with them, I had to entertain myself since all my parents wanted to do was lame stuff like play cards or watch TV. Behind Cabin 1 and 2 there was a hill with concrete stairs going down it. The hill was covered with rocks that were intentionally stuck there. It was fun to climb up and down that hill and I thought cement stairs were cool because I've never seen any before. I also liked to hang out on the benches that faced the channel. Feeding the bluegill stale bread was always entertaining for me, but probably hazardous to the fish.

Someone posted a lot of pictures on YouTube of Magician Lake, the lake my family stayed on. We stayed in the ghetto "channel" and our cabin did not look like these huge houses!
