VACATION

Every year our family has gone to Burt Lake in northern Michigan and this year we were lucky to get a whole week away.  And even though we were on Mullet Lake this year, we had an amazing time. We were sure that the baby and the dogs would kill us but we had tons of fun!  There are too many pictures to lay them all out so I have a bunch of collages for your enjoyment.

James on the boat.  He pretty much hated the life jacket but we had to keep it on in the river to avoid a ticket.  This picture in the bottom right is my favorite.  He had been on the boat about 10 minutes and we put all that gear on him as a joke and then he just cashed...and was totally out for 45 minutes!  It was hilarious!


I had to work one of the days of the trip so Andy, G & G Hogan took James to Mackinaw City and ove to St. Ignace.  I made them promise though that they would not go into the special Indian store because I wanted to be there for his first time in, so Andy just took James picture outside it and then we got him a coon skin cap.


This is James first tast of ice cream! GG was kind enough to give James a little bite and he couldn't get enough, he kept opening his mouth like a little bird and so he and GG shared the Snickers bar.  GG ate the outside chocolate coating and the peanuts and James took care of the rest.


On yet another trip to Mackinaw City ( I am pretty sure my parents went 7 or 8 times), this time in search of smoked whitefish, we also found an elephant.  James was not really a fan, but I paid a dollar and fed her.  Pretty cool since I had never fed an elephant before.
These are just random pics of James on the boat.  He had such a good time on the boat but he was not such a fan of the lake - I think it was too big for him.

And we can't forget the dogs.  We were sure that we were going to have to sedate or seperate them in order to keep our sanity.  After a couple days though, they were buddies and completely fine around each other.
