Summer Vacation: Part 3

Here are the rest of the pictures from our fabulous summer vacation in Northern Michigan! We had a great time camping, and then spent the day on Mackinac (pronounced Mackinaw) Island before coming home. We rented a tandem bike with a trailer for the kids and rode around the whole island, it was so beautiful! The weather was perfect, ice cream was super yummy; my only complaint was the smell! (there are no cars on the island, so the only transportation is horse and buggy - and bikes)

Stay tuned for more excellent summer adventures!

Summer Vacation: Part 2

We weren't able to get to as many lighthouses as I wanted, but it was fun to see the ones we did! Northern Michigan was so beautiful, and the kids absolutely loved playing at all the beaches! Stay tuned for part 3 of our super fun trip!

Summer Vacation: Part 1

We had a great vacation last week - our first few days were spent in a town called Bay View, which is about 4 hours north of us. We stayed with Great-Cousin Barbara Jane (she had the kids call her Momo) and I was finally able to experience this amazing place that I've only heard stories about from Brett's childhood. His Grandmother and all her family had come to this place every summer for years and years. We were there over the 4th of July, and I can't imagine a better place to spend the holiday! We played at the beach every day, watched a very unique parade, and went to a beautiful patriotic concert. Momo took great care of us, and we are already making plans for our next visit! Here are some of the pictures we took (you have to play the game to see them!) and I will post pictures from the rest of our trip a little later. Have fun!
