The Decline and Fall of Belinda
Dad got out of the tent around 6:15 after
getting approximately 5 minutes of sleep due to the noise of 1.4 million tractor
trailers going down highway 35 between Escanaba and Stupid Green Bay. At about
6:30 Belinda popped out (keep in mind they went to bed after 10) declaring that
she was wide awake. So awake she'd been up since five, even though she has no
concept of time.
This is not a good start. The first activity of the
day, after breakfast, was to go on a walk down a trial along the shore of
Michigan Lake. We found a large rock, which Jacob got up somehow. Here is a shot
of Belinda attempting to be cool like her brother.
Long story short: she is not quite like her
brother. She fell off, scraping her shin all up. This, however, was just a warm
up in the saga of Belinda's morning.
