While I was in Michigan a few weeks ago I went to a little festival to check out the arts and crafts booths. But one of the fascinating things that I saw was a live statue.
There were students there posing at various locations. This girl was by far the best. She never moved a muscle. She stayed in this pose for at least 15 minutes and then she repositioned and posed again for I don’t know how long because I finally gave up and walked on.
It was so interesting to see….especially to see the expressions on kids faces when she did finally move. They didn’t think she was real and they jumped when she moved.
Dogs sniffed her and she didn’t blink. People talked to her and she didn’t move. Cameras flashed and she ignored them. She was good. 🙂
This past weekend we flew to Michigan to Boyne Falls. This is what it looks like from the air.
We met with a group of folks that all have Commander airplanes. It’s a great group of folks. All crazy and fun! We did a fly out one day to Mackinaw Island. This is the view from out of the back window of the other planes lined up on the taxi way all ready to fly out together to Mackinaw.
You can see the prop in this shot of Mackinaw Island. The big white box you see is the Grand Hotel.
The great thing about Mackinaw Island is that there is no motorized vehicles. So when we all arrived and call for the taxi, this is what came to pick us up.
Life is definitely moving at a much slower pace on the island. It took 20 minutes to get from the little airport to the downtown area. This is the view from the “taxi” of the road leading to the Grand Hotel.
And the porch on the front of the Grand Hotel as we passed by in our “taxi”.
And another view of the hotel as we passed her by.
And this is the crew of pilots that made the trip over to Mackinaw. About 20 men and me!!! You wouldn’t believe how difficult it is to get them all moving in the same direction. It was just like herding cats!
