Lisa & Michael

Lisa and Michael are looking forward to another year at MTU.

Winter Carnival

Michigan Technological University, located in Houghton (way way up in Michigan's upper peninsula), hosts a winter carnival each year. Winter is celebrated with ice statue/sculpture contests, skiing and snowshoeing races, broomball tournaments, ice bowling, human dogsled races, tug-of-war contests on the ice, and more. The whole college community is involved, and people come from afar to be there. My daughter, with her Delta Zeta sisters, worked long and hard on this Pretty Pretty Princess ice statue and won first place. The theme is "Games We Know."

My parents took a LONG trip to Michigan's upper peninsula to visit my daughter at Michigan Tech (Houghton). They were there to experience the first snow of the year. October 10 is way too early for that! Photo taken by guest photographer Bill Church.

We took a tour of the Michigan Tech campus. This photo was taken from one of the lecture halls; a beautiful view of Houghton/Hancock.
