Lake Superior and it's Pictured Rocks

Now, over a million years ago, Lake Superior was formed by glaciers coming down from the north. Lake Superior is the largest, longest, and deepest of all of the great lakes. They are inferior, and it is superior. Get it?

But anyway, the glaciers forming into the great lakes had a lot of chemicals in them. There was a wide valley that is now the lake. There was a cliff, but then when the melted glacier (Lake Superior) came down, it was covered up. People didn't notice all different ingredients making the big chain of rock go into different colors, but it was. Then, little by little Lake Superior went down and down, and down. And now, there are colored streaks of red and black and white and blue. And brown. They are horizontal, and some are vertical. Still others are even blobs.

Anyway, two days ago we went on a tour in a boat and saw these beautiful formations.

It all started in church. At a united Methodist church in Munising, we went in and had communion. It was an interesting church, with pews diagonally pointed at each other. We were warmly greeted by some people who gave us some programs, and we sat on the left pew second row. The church had a sort of circular shape, and had a higher platform with two podiums and a table with two candles on it. Above that selected off by a short wall, was a pianist and her organ. Everyone was very friendly and nice, shaking our hands and asking us if this was our first time. We told them about our journey, and eyes became wide.

A lady with short hair and a big white robe with yellow stitches and glasses addressed the congregation. (She's the Rev.) She did some announcements, like meetings and such. People in the pews (members of the church obviously) also did some announcements. Then we sang some hymns, did a prelude, and also did prayer requests. We then prayed about all those in need, and for all persecuted Christians around the world. After those things they called the children to come up and "All children, " the rev said, looking at me. I came too.

A lady with short black hair and glasses about 40- 50 said hi. She asked some questions, like what did you learn this week in school or when did you think, talk about, or read about God that week. A lot answered the latter by saying they prayed. I wanted to be original,and I remembered that I had just read the story about the three Jewish men, (Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah) who were changed to Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego. Anyway, the story is they get thrown into a fiery furnace because they didn't bow down to the Babylonian king. I told the lady about this, and she high fived me and told to tell the crowd. I did, and honestly I didn't think I did anything awesome. I simply shared the story.

About the former, everybody (except me) said stuff like Math and other things. I just said a thing I learned, and so I said, "I learned about the reshaping of medieval society. From chivalrous place to more commerce and trade. The lady's eyes came wide."

But after that, Rebecca and the other kids went down the stairs to the children's part. I stayed up though, and it was a very good service, about going out into the world and not leaving anyone not preached to because their different . It really was good.

We shared the bread and grapejuice, and then I went to go get Rebecca. A guy named Phil said he talked to Rebecca about all we had done. He told us to go to Johnny Dogs, and to try a pasty. We gave him the blog, and then said goodbye.

A man named Cam Bell asked Mom what grade I was in. He seemed very impressed, and told me to keep learning.

We then went back home, got ready to leave for the boat, put on several layers,and got tickets. Then we ate at Johny Dogs, which was a small diner with hot dogs. It wasn't actually that good though.

Then, we got at the dock and got into a small boat, on the top deck. We got out of the harbor, and there were the rocks! High cliffs with lines and layers of different colors. Turquoise, blue, white, red, and brown. All of the streaks and blobs and lines. So nice.

We saw arches, rocks, and there were trees on top of us as we went right by the rocks. We saw s big head looking thing, and a circular opening with some many cool things. It was awesome.

As we went back to the harbor, and then to the jeep, I went over the events that happened. So awesome.

Then, we ate dinner at the Brownstone Inn, and I had an awesome whitefish. After that, we went to bed at the R.V.

Alas! how little does the memory of these human inhabitants enhance the beauty of the landscape!
