4th of July in Mackinaw

We spent a few days over the 4th of July holiday up in Mackinaw City with Eric's family. We were excited for a few days away from home and to spend some time with Eric's parents, brother Brian, and brother Steve, sister-in-law Joy, and nephews Tim, Luke, and Aaron. We went to Mackinac Island for a day, visited an indoor water park a few times, went mini golfing, frequented the shops (ladies), visited a friend of Brian's family cottage in the U.P. to kayak, four wheel, swim (guys), and of course ate Mackinac Island fudge ice cream and fudge!!! We had a very tired (and thus cranky and whiney - not a combination I have a lot of patience for!) little boy when all was said and done, but overall, we had a fantastic time!

At the water park and loving every minute of it! We had to pull Grant away kicking and screaming!

The boat ride over to Mackinac Island.

It's hard to get four boys to sit still for a picture!!

Eric and I did the 8 mile trek around the island in pretty good time. Some people are so bad when it comes to biking etiquette! Drove us nuts! Plus, it's not easy to suddenly stop a tandem bike with a child seat on the back. One bonus - Grant got a much needed cat nap in on the ride. Not a very comfortable nap, but at least it was a nap!

Family picture with the bridge in the background. Wish I could have had a picture of the entire family (those pictures are on Eric's parents' camera).

Life doesn't get any better than this. Grant and Aaron just loved jumping on the bed (the more naked the better, in Grant's case!).

Kim, these are great pics! I particularly love the one of you guys on the bike. Eric's little white basket cracked me up:-)
You look great, by the way. You are pregnant, right?!!
