Family at Mackinac


-Family have come up north, so a few of the highlights! Mom and Dad came north to see Garrison Keillor at the Cheboygan Opera House and we did the Afterglow to see him in person.


-He was talking about interpretation here...kind of.

-The guy in the red sneakers.


-Dean, Michelle, and Derek came up to the island, too. Here we got a wonderful treat of tea at the Grand!






-And we had to pop up to the cupola for a little view.







-Then hit some of the music at the pubs.



-We got Dean in the blacksmith shop where Dave helped him with his first s-hook.









-Derek and Michelle watching a sunset on the boardwalk.


-The Puerto Rico spring break reunites!



-On tiptoes or bending to see if we can all be the same height!




-Some competitive mini golf on Lake Huron.


-A farewell on the ferry.


-The next group, including Sherry, her mom, and the nieces and nephews, came...first going to the Butterfly House (original, please!) where Bradley is fascinated with the butterflies.


-And Alex becomes one!


-The gang's all here.








A nice green one. I don't know the names and kinds, so colors will have to suffice.


-Huh...you know, these kids can't stay away from the water!



-A cute little Mackenzie having fun on the grass.

-And on the chairs, Alex...














-...Justin...


-...and Bradley.

















-Bradley, Justin and Alex off of Anne's Tablet Trail overlooking town.

-Jake and the boys at the fort.












-In the Kids' Quarters playing dress up....Justin...

-...Alex...













-...Bradley....

-...and Kenzie (in a dress Grandma made!)!









-But she had to cuddle with mom once it was through.



-Then up to the Grand (they did a lot of walking!) to see the beautiful flowers out front.









-And the great view from the Cupola!


-Then back downtown for food, souvenirs and fudge! Yay May's!



-Then back on the boat after a long day!



-But everyone had a great time!
