summer days

it was another hot day here in northern michigan. this morning dad rounded up team schmitty for a hike at the vasa trail. dad ran 10k while mum and i chased jameson around for 2k. we learned that jameson does not do very well in the backpack with mum. he apparently likes to pull her hair. it turned out alright because he had more fun crawling away from us, and most of the time he went in the right direction.
dad ran home, and after, he jumped in the bay. that's pretty amazing for october.

this afternoon, we hung out at the park trying to stay cool in the shade.
uncle tannin didn't have quite as much fun in this heat. apparently, it was 95 degrees in chicago and the race was called after several thousand people passed out. "the worst experience of his life", i think he called it. way to finish and not give up uncle tannin!
