the Big Mac

Guess where we spent the weekend? Looking at Big Mac..the Mackinac Bridge.


On the spur of the moment, we decided to take a trip up to Mackinac Island. The last time we were there was when Kelly was 6 months old. We remembered a lot and had to take some fun pictures in the same spots. It was fun!


We rented bikes and rode 8.2 miles around the island.We stopped to take a few pictures...you're supposed to be able to see the bridge in the background but it was a bit too gray!
The water was amazing to look at, it started out clear at the shore, then turned a little blueish green, then blue, then dark blue...fascinating to watch as you ride!







The is Arch Rock...beautiful!


Jenny ,Kelly and Abbey did some climbing...















Then, we were so hot, we had to get some ice cream!
We really did have a fun time. It was fun to remember being there with Kelly, riding bikes through town with her in a Burley, crying the whole time in town, sounding like a siren! She did better when we got near the water...just like now!!
We stayed in St. Ignace(across the bridge), did fireworks at night and the next day, went to the Mystery Spot. We were used as examples to show weird sensations of a different pull of gravity. Here Jenny is balancing on two legs of a chair...




Kelly and Abbey are standing on a level platform, but Abbey looks taller here (don't tell Kelly!)And Dave climbed up the wall...crazy!
It was a quick trip but one we've been meaning to do for years. We had lots of fun!
