My family loves tennis and always look forward to when the weather gets warmer so we can play. Little did I know there is a sport called Platform Tennis that can be played in any weather in Oakland County at Waterford Oaks County Park.

It's been a busy Michigan Winter. Sled Cam has been visiting many local sled hills in search of Oakland County's best sledding hill. The Mighty Sled Cam's pursuit for the action-packed sledding videos has been tireless. Here is his best work so far...

We took the kids to the Stony Creek Nature Center inside Stony Creek Metropark in Shelby Township last weekend.  We were planning on going to the beach to play some track ball and bocce ball, and to take a quick trip to see the somewhat newly built Stony Creek Nature Center. Last time we were out there was a couple of years ago when the old Stony Creek Nature Center building was still standing. Here is my review:

Spencer Park (or Thelma G. Spencer Park) is situated on 113 acres of land off of John R. Road between Auburn and South Blvd in Rochester Hills. My family has quite a personal history with Spencer Park. My husband was an avid visitor to the park even before we met and he even worked there for 2 summers as a college student. The park is very close to our home but we would make special efforts to go there even if we didn't live very close to it.
