Favorite places of Hillsdale

In a few weeks we are moving to Indiana, so here are some of our favorite places in Hillsdale:

The Farmer's Market: home of maple syrup, fresh honey, home-baked cookies, and friendly dogs for petting.

 The fountain in front of the courtyard: great entertainment on a hot day!


Who could do without their community library?

Grab bag of pictures

Various pictures that haven't otherwise found a reason to be posted...
Waiting for the 4th of July parade to start

On the hottest Saturday of 2016, we visited the Chelsea Treehouse: indoor play area for the kids, and air conditioning for the adults!

Luke in the swing at the 68th (or thereabouts) annual Dickerson family re-union on the 4th of July.

Abbey posing in the Arboretum at Hillsdale College

Abbey posing in the dry waterfall at the Arboretum.  We were there in the spring, before they turned the waterfall on.

Isaac posing on the bridge in the Arboretum

All the kids (older ones, anyway) posing on the bridge

Isaac in his class at co-op.  Showing an orange for the letter "O".

Isaac with his choice of musical instrument!

While I was at an interview in Dayton, OH, the kids got to visit a playplace.  

This was back in April.

At the hotel in Dayton


Luke hamming for the camera

The 2015-16 winter was mild: the kids making snow angels on one of the few snowy days.

Back at the hotel in Dayton: girls in matching outfits for church.


I think I was still at my interview when the rest of the family stopped at McDonald's.

Naomi at the playplace.

Ethan and his spy glassI

I think I spy land!

Isaac and his spy glass

You're right matey!  Land HO!

Like an unstoppable force coming from within; THEY MUST CREATE!

Isaac with his rocket.
Ethan and Abbey made a car out of plastic red cups.
Today they are making things with plastic cups.  I still here they cutting and sawing as I post this.  lol
Abbey made a little play area for a stuffed rat that we have.  She made a tunnel with the cups and the potato head is its sleeping area. :)
