After cleaning up we went and picked up Raymond and his family to take a trip to Ishpeming. We were going to have a late lunch and then head to Jasper Hill (or Knob). Angel had never been there and wanted to check it out as she is a Rock Hound like Michelle.
We stopped at Jasper Brewing to have lunch and after filling up went to the hill.
Angel and I found a hole in the hill and decided to check it out.
At the bottom.
Everyone else got a little worried as we did not reach the top. So they sent Brendan looking for us. Soon after they all joined us.
We made it to the top of the hill and the view is incredible!
Family photo. I am the handsome one in the back.
We left the hill and headed for downtown Marquette. We had a little time to kill before the race award ceremony. The ladies and the kids headed for ice cream and Raymond and I went to Blackrocks Brewing for a beer. I had never been to Blackrocks and have wanted to stop in ever since we have been coming to the UP. We had an excellent IPA and listened to the live band for a while.
We made it to the awards in time. When they announced the awards for Madeline's class they did not announce her at first place. We discovered then that she would be recognized for fourth overall in the Women's Division. She was not happy about this.
4th Place Women's Shore Rock (Madeline on Left)!
2nd Place, Men 50-59.
After the awards we went back to Presque Isle. The kids wanted to jump off the Blackrocks and we thought we would look for the key fob. We were standing in the cove when Angel bent down and announced that she found the key fob setting on a rock ledge. There was another family there and the wife informed us that her 3 year old daughter had just found it while digging in the rocks!
Madeline would be the only one that jumped off the rocks that evening. She jumped four times! When we were leaving there were so many cars parked it was difficult to get through. We realized they were all watching the sunset.
We stayed for a short time and returned to the Holiday Inn to set at the pool while the kids swim. Everyone was hungry so we got pizza and talked for a while. Raymond and I were completely exhausted at this point. We called it a night.
Next up, travel day.
