Family Vacation to Michigan!






















After having an awesome week at church camp, we had 2 days to do laundry and pack up again to head out for our family vacation to Michigan! Whew...busy but so fun! G'ma and G'pa made the trip with us so we had an extra fun time! : ) We headed to Mackinaw City, MI the first day and then ventured over to Mackinac Island after that. If you have never been there, we highly recommend it...tons of fun and a special place to visit. The island is not very big but does not allow motor vehicles on it so the only means of transportation are walking, biking (rental places everywhere!) and horse/buggies....it's so neat! The girls loved it! We ended up renting bikes for all of us (except Gma and Gpa who have biked around the island when I was a kid so they decided to opt out this time around!).....Allie had her own bike, Lauren and Daddy rode tandem bikes together (cute pics to come soon!) and Mama pulled Katie in a bike buggy. We didn't make it all the way around the island but ended up doing 6 miles as a family, which we thought was pretty good w/ little ones! It was a great day! After spending a couple days around that area, we headed southwest to the area of Harbor Springs/Petoskey/Charlevoix and stayed at a friends' house on Crooked Lake....and when I say "lakehouse", I mean ON THE LAKE....gorgeous! They had jetskis, canoes, and everything at our disposal....wonderful time! Lauren wasn't too crazy about riding the jet ski as she thought it went "WAY TOO FAST!" but Allie and Katie enjoyed riding it w/ Daddy! : ) After a few days there, it was time to head home....all in all, another wonderful family vacation to keep in our memories...now back home for some more summer fun!
