James Skipping Rope at Hoover Elementary 2012
I asked James what to write for these pictures and he told me “Jump Rope At Recess”. The pictures were taken at his school’s field day by a school secretary and sent to us by his teacher. Jame’s teacher also wrote the following “James did so well at everything. He really practiced jump rope; it’s a hard skill to teach someone but he was game.”
Good for James. I have never been able to master the jump rope.

Parks of the Magic Capitol 2012
James did such a good job helping out at the Flea Market we figured he could take a nice long break and play at the parks in Colon Michigan, which is exactly what he did. He really loved the new slides and went up and down each one multiple times, but he still likes the original park which is made of wood and is quite old, or at least it appears to be old, that might be the design.
After James had his fill of parks, and after the flea market was over, the entire family went about exploring the Magic Capitol locations including the library and the flower sale that was going on outside the school (It was the day before mothers day so I bet they made a good profit).
Abbott’s Flea Market 2012
The family went up to Colon Michigan to participate in a Magic Flea Market and Auction. We go to this almost every year primarily to look for Halloween stuff which shows up from time to time. This year was different because Mary had a Flea Market table. Mary sold some used magic, posters, and books that were supplied to her from the magic shop hosting the event and she had a great time selling and interacting with the visitors, some who came as far away as St Louis to attend this. James and I did manage to find a couple things to buy for Halloween but mostly spent our time outside at the playgrounds. They also had a flower sale going on that day so it was a very busy day in the Magic Capital Colon Michigan.
After the Flea Market we ate a buffet in Coldwater then went to the antique shops in Allen MI (From the Magic Capital to the Antique Capital). Ironically Mary found a Phantom of the Opera poster framed which we will show you once Halloween rolls around. A fun day for everyone.
