Happy Fall!

Happy Fall Everyone!
Here's a recount of our fun Fall week with the Morgans in Sept.

Petting the Goats
Checking out Campus
This is the law-quad (Hogwarts-style)
We had some crazy weather during the week. Rain, wind, cold... but we managed to see most everything we wanted to. Here's the scene as we waited for the ferry. White-caps and wind! The kids were nervous the boat was in danger, but were comforted that everyone on the ferry was saying "Wheeeee!" as the boat went up and down like a roller-coaster!

There was definitely some hiding from the cold going on! Here's Luke in Papa Stapleton's raincoat. (Scott's now) It almost covered him from head to toe. :)
Eatin'

Sleepin'

Visiting Museums
The Butterfly Museum on Mackinac Island
We also visited the Ford Factory on a rainy day.

Swimmin'
Walking around the island
Ah...the Grande.
The Grande Hotel is famous for their large porch over looking Lake Huron and the movie Somewhere in Time that was filmed here in 1979. Mel and I enjoyed checking it out.

I don't know how reliable this is, but the internet said in many places, "The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Michigan has the longest porch in the world at some 660 feet in length."
Biking around the island

And there was definitely some of this going on too!
Down time for the kiddies. Tom and Jerry was the favorite.

Great trip! The best part was getting to spend time with these cute kiddies!
Thanks for visiting guys!!
