Over the weekend we went to Mackinac City to the grand opening of the Mackinac Outfitters store. Some celebrities were on hand for the grand opening, also. On Saturday the kids got to meet Spiderman (again), and Lisa met country music singer Mel Tillis and an actor from one of her soap operas. I was a little disappointed, though, as Detroit Tiger legends and World Champion baseball players Jack Morris and Mickey Lolich were advertised to be there, too. In a little trick, the store scheduled them for Sunday, trying to bring in more business over the weekend.
Like idiots we took the bait and drove back down. It was worth it, though, as the kids and I met and got autographs from Jack and Mickey. Morris signed cards for the kids, a couple of pictures, and a baseball for my dad. Lolich signed a picture for each of us and the baseball. Both were great, but the store workers really hurried things so we couldn't really talk to either of them that much. I did shake Lolich's hand and thank him, and he seemed to appreciate that. The kids are already acquiring a good collection of autographs, and hope their interest in sports grows, too. You should see what Lily can do on the climbing wall!!!!!
