Summer Vacation 2012 - Mackinac Island

Our next stop on our vacation was mackinac island for the day. There are no vehicles on the island (except for a couple of emergency vehicles) Lots of fun!!

Main Street on the Island... horses and bicycles everywhere!!

Ride over on the ferry

The Grand Hotel, view from the Ferry

Mackinac Bridge, view from the ferry

Horse and Carriage Tour.. 1 3/4 hour tour around the island

Arch Rock - one of the stops on the horse and carriage tour

Rented bicycles for an hour... toured along some of the main streets and along the water for a bit... The kids took turns riding with me on the bicycle build for two. Took a few minutes to get the hang of it, but then it was alot of fun!

And of course, we can't forget the ice cream cones on a hot day :)

Summer Vacation 2012 - Iron Bridge

We made a last minute decision to go ahead with our annual summer vacation... up north to see family. Scott drove us up to San Antonio (on our 13th anniversary) and we all stayed in a hotel there to catch an early morning flight 5:45 am!! to Flint. Rented a car and headed up to Iron Bridge for our first stop. We landed in Flint (with 2 layovers) pretty much the same time as Scott arrived back home to Mission!! Here are a few pics from IB... all out of order. Blogger has changed their layout/uploading so I am not sure how to get them in order...

Drinking hot chocolate to warm up after beach time

A team work-out :)

Lots of kitty and puppy time...

And game time...

Fresh veggies right from the garden... yummy!

And with Grandma and Grandpa

Waaaay Behind again here... as usual!

Can't believe how far behind I am.. time seems to be flying and I am not getting this blog updated at all.  Hardly know where to start, but I don't want to skip a 1/2  a year!  Maybe once the kids get back to school I will have more time to update... but for now, will do some more recent posts....
