Mackinac Island is a must when in the area. Most of the group had never been there before so it was fun to show them one of our favorite places.
We got up and all 14 of us were ready and out of the house at 9 am. We were all so proud of ourselves!
The ferry ride took us under the Mackinac Bridge and a round about way to the island. It was neat to see the bridge from underneath and the island from another perspective.
After about a 30 minute ferry we arrived on the special island.

Who knows where are kids were. ;-) But Jayce did sneak in the background!
Lily and her whale spout hair-do.
Ruby...what a sweetie.
These two loved spending time together on the trip. Little buds!

When we arrived on the island we enjoyed time at the park for the kids to play and eat some lunch.

The whole clan. What a special group of friends we all are!
Noa was the hit of the kids. He got climbed on, jumped on, and poked by kids everywhere. It was fun seeing the kids "love" on Noa.
Since no cars are allowed on the island bikes are everywhere! Kenny and Amanda spend every summer there and have a bike that stays on the dock put there by friends. We took advantage of it and cruised around. The kids loved riding like this.
We spend a lot of time just hanging out at the waters edge while the kids threw rocks into the water.
This picture just cracks me up! Amanda ran over her jacket with her bike and there was a tire mark on the back. She layed on the path making it look like she was run over by a bike. Love that girl...
This girl is something else! While the kids were playing her and Jayce were busy putting dirt on their face.
This picture is priceless!
We stopped by for a beer and appetizers before heading back on the ferry. One of the appetizers we had was chips and this amazing bleu cheese dip. Lily loved it so much that she was licking the bowl.

I am so glad we were able to take them to the island and show them just a portion of it. My hope is they come back and explore more of what the island has to offer.
