Happy Vacation

We went on a vacation! Jamie was even able to take Sunday off work. Sort of a big deal. He's an Associate Minister and Sunday's are a major work day for him. He gets a few off a year, but hasn't taken any because of the craziness of this year. Anyway...

We left Thursday morning for our UP house in Seney, MI. We stopped at the bridge and went to the fort. Michael has always wanted to go there and we thought we'd do it this trip. It was pretty neat. Not my favorite thing to do. But, Michael loved it. They fired off a cannon and a couple guns. I tell ya', this kid is not afraid to talk to anyone. After the musket shooting he walked right up to the 'soldiers' and had a discussion about a modern war taking place at the fort. They didn't laugh at him at all. So cute!

After the fort we took the kids down to the lake. We actually went under the Mackinac Bridge. I've never done that before. Pretty neat.

My in-laws met us up there that evening and we just hung out together. Friday morning we woke up and headed out to Grand Marais and went to the beach there. That night we went over to Marquette to watch the fire works. Wow. Those were the biggest loudest fire works I have ever seen. Very impressive. Scary too. Fire works are one of my biggest fears. Now you know.

The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing and cleaning up the house. It was a great time!
