Contrats Casey on getting your Master's Degree!









Despite the chilly, early summer, water the kids were bound and determined to swim out to the raft... I took the paddle board.























There are some beautiful wineries on the Old Mission Peninsula.  This is Bry's which had the better reds that we tried... the also had the ever so classy Rose Wine Slushy... I can see why it's one of their more popular offerings.



We had an amazing time on Mackinac Island!
Elizabeth enjoyed playing the Steinway in the Mission Point Hotel - the piano must have been about a hundred years old and the keys had grooves worn in them from being played over the years.  It was located in the fancy restaurant that we ate at one evening.  The food there was amazing, and the kids eat free - perfect!  












We all had a great time on Mackinac Island and everyone can't wait to go back!  I'm certain we'll be back soon.
