Tigers, Sun and relaxation

Went to the Tigers game on Friday.. we were guests of a Vendor in their suite at Comerica. What a great way to see a game! Private viewing box along the 1st base line. Unlimited food and drink in the suite. TV monitors in case you missed something.. Had several people back out in the final hour before the game, so I took my 6 yr old son to the game.. He had a good time at his first MLB game.. I think I have probably ruined him for all other sporting events now - lol.. I did talk about how 'lucky' we were to be in the suite.. and I think he understood. I really like Comerica Park for the views of Detroit! Actually I always enjoy being in Detroit, and I love my GPS that gives me the freedom to move around the city without the fear of getting lost. Despite improvements, Detroit is still a rough town, and there are parts you dont want to be lost in.. With my GPS I can drive anywhere and have the confidence that I know where I am going.. The odd thing is I am starting to get much more familiar with at least the basic layout of the town. Enough to second guess the GPS - lol

On Saturday I did a LOT of yard work.. including trimming all the trees (sometimes with a chain saw). It looks really good. Saturday was beautiful and we grilled, and ate in the breezeway and enjoyed the day. In the evening we went to Sleepy Hollow State park and looked around.. the park is huge.. there is a fair sized lake in the park and an Island in the lake.. we walked over the bridge to the island and walked around the island.. really cool.. there was a foot path, but it is obvious not a lot of people go there.. the trees were largely grown over the path.. I had to duck to go everywhere, while my kids largely walked under the branches. We saw a rabbit and heard lots of birds on our trip around the island which I would guess is close to a mile around. We also checked out the camp grounds as I would like to go there for Fathers day this year and camp out for a night. I was impressed with the grounds and think we would have fun there!
Sunday it rained and was cooler and we generally relaxed. In late morning we went out and did some shopping and stopped at the Barrel for lunch, then a few more stores and headed home.
I have not been reading nearly as much lately, but I have not been working as much either.. I did go to the library yesterday and pick up a couple of books on logging, both first hand accounts.
