From Ann Arbor to Frankfort to Detroit

---

Frankfort's public beach rotates away from the sun's light as onlookers watch, helpless to stop it.

The sun has set on our latest summer excursion to Frankfort. We had a great time, with great weather, great food, and we met some interesting people. We logged many hours on the beach and went on a very relaxing canoe trip north of Frankfort. The canoe trip ended at an inlet to Lake Michigan, and we walked up to the lake while stone hunting - there were gazillions of flat, smooth stones for the kids to use for skipping practice.

On Saturday, we met Grandma and Grandpa B at the Maker Faire at Henry Ford Museum. The rain held off long enough for us to visit the "Learn to Solder" tent, ride a 6-person circular bicycle from Cirque Amongus, and watch the life-sized Mousetrap Rube Goldberg setup, which is based on the Mousetrap board game. There were plenty of other oddball and fun exhibits as well.

Before we left, we purchased some inexpensive starter circuit board sets that the boys and I will assemble in the coming days and weeks. They both left asking when their next opportunity to solder would be, and I'd hate for them to lose that enthusiasm about it.
