Lansing, Michigan

   We took a pit stop in the cold snow in Lansing, Michigan, the state’s capital.  While we were there shivering, we learned about many facts that Michigan is known for.  Did you know that Michigan has been owned by four different countries?  They include Spain, Great Britain, France, and the United States.  Detroit was also known as the automobile capital of the world.  If you want to see natural beauty, visit one Michigan’s 133 state parks.  Finally, we learned that Magic Johnson, a famous basketball player, went to Michigan State University.  Wow!
    Speaking of sports, kids like to play in 6 feet of snow hills and go sledding. I’m getting cold just telling you about it, so lets move to some warmer things to do. They also like to go fishing, camping, and hunting. At recess, they like to play basketball, soccer, swings, and football.
     In Michigan, there isn’t just wonderful things to do, but wonderful things to see. Michigan has many beautiful forests and gorgeous waterfalls.  Did you know that anywhere you stand in Michigan, you are never more than 85 miles from the Great Lakes.  You can also visit the famous Mackinac Island and its bridge for some fabulous fudge.  If you can’t make it that far north, check out the world-famous Bronner’s Christmas store.  Isn’t that amazing!  Head over to Michigan to see those wonderful sights and delicious foods.
