Marshall Blues Festival 2011
This was the second Blues Festival we attended. A very very hot day, Mom went straight to the Festival while Dad and James snuck off to Colon to visit the magic shop there. Later we picked up Mom and walked the streets of Marshall listening to music. On the way home we decided to stop for Chinese at a restaurant in Jackson which we found courtesy of our phones GPS. All in all a very fun day.
The pictures below are of the streets of Marshall during the Blues Festival, however most of the shops on main street are open throughout the year and we would certainly suggest a trip to Marshall anytime of the year.

For the last few years we have spent the Fourth of July in Colon MI with friends but this year we stayed home because James wanted to have his own fireworks show. A quick trip to Walmart got us a package of cool fireworks that we lit off at night. Although our little firework show was small, there were lots of other fireworks going on by other neighbors that created a great atmosphere.
James thoroughly enjoyed the fireworks and the entire evening of festivities as afterwards we enjoyed a late nite snack prepared by Mom and watched more celebrations from the front window.
