Mackinaw

Sooooo many picturess to share





We have spent the past four days vacationing in Mackinac with our favorite friends the O'mara's. We had some ruff times, bad weather, bad kids.... but overall we had a great time. Thursday when we got there the weather was great. Rachel and I took the kids to see the bridge up close, play at the park and walk around town.
Friday was rainy. We were on our way to the beach when it started to rain and storm, instead we wnet shopping at walmart. Eventually though, it got nice and the kids were able to play outside after dinner and enjoy some ice cream!




Saturday was again rainy, but it didn't start out that way. We got all packed up and were even on the rode to catch a ferry to the island and it started storming. Thank goodness we weren't stuck on the island for the storm with no where to go. Instead the kids watched a movie and the adults played cards..... for about 3 hours!!
Did I mention it was 10 or 11am and it looked like it was night time! But we eventually made it over the the island Saturday and spent several hours there walking, having dinner, and taking a carriage ride. It turned out to be a great afternoon. Now we have several more ideas of what we want to do next year.

Brad and Tay on the ferry. What a cute bunch of kids. I love this picture!
Our best friends the O'mara family.

A nice picture of Rachel and I. I left out the ones of us playing on the playground with the kids. And so you know that my hands still hurt from the monkey bars!
Brad and I. I think there was suppose to be a bridge somewhere in the back ground.

All the kids waiting for the ferry home. They were so worried that it was not going to come back and get us!
