Beautiful summer day - we were up bright and early leaving at 6:15 in Daisy (Toad stayed at campground) for Flint (1/2 hour) and a new tire. Jerry's Tire Service took care of putting the tire on front and changing that tire to where we had the blow out.....all about keeping the size of tire the same. While mechanic was working on that, we walked across the street and had breakfast at the Hill Road Grille. It only took about an hour and we were on our way back to Frankenmuth. Went to a car wash and Mark gave Daisy a good scrubbing (these gravel roads and lack of rain up here make for some very dusty RV's and cars)!.
Settled Daisy back in Spot #21 and then we drove back downtown and I got a haircut at Allure'A. I desperately needed a new shorter "do" and Shelley did a good job. Mark was on the hunt for a haircut, but all the barber shops are closed Mondays. We met at the Koffee Haus, had iced coffees and back to Daisy.
We went to the Outlet Mall in the afternoon - he got a pair of Maui Jims and a new golf shirt and I got a pair of black shorts. It's really a nice big shopping complex.....Mark was talking to a lady at the Koffee Haus this morning who is involved with the Chamber of Commerce. She said Frankenmuth is the #1 tourist attraction in Michigan!!!!
And every time we drive around and see all the gorgeous flowers, I think "they must have big-time stock in Miracle Gro"!!! Spectacular blooms and they are everywhere. Lots of watering, too, since they are not getting the rain.
Walked around the park and Bob and Linda arrived around 2:30. Met them at Bronner's and let the fun begin! Shopped in this wonderful huge Christmas store for a few hours. They went back to check into their hotel and later we picked them up and we gals browsed some of the downtown shops. Met the guys (who had a beer at the Frankemuth Brewery) for dinner at Zehnder's (chicken with all the sides)! Soooo much good food....

After dinner we walked across the street to the Bavarian Inn and watched the entertainment...
The Glockenspiel with the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin (rat catcher).
Liam served Mass for the first time today at Holy Trinity - the big church as he has only been an altar boy at school masses. Wish we could've been there....
