Since Tyler carried a camera around on occasion during our
trip and many of our pictures tended to overlap, I have included a separate set
of pages just for Tyler's pictures. They are grouped together by the day they
were taken, as opposed to the way I divided up my pictures. This was done
primarily because Tyler didn't take as many pictures as I did (I'm sorry... I
just can't help myself).
On the first day of our trip we rode the bus to Hartwick
Pines State Park, then on to Colonial Michilimackinac, and on to St. Ignace.
Here we boarded the ferry for our trip to Mackinac Island, where we checked into
our hotel, ate dinner, and the kids watched a movie ("Bolt"). I have to admit to
taking the first few pictures... it was sprinkling out and this camera is
waterproof, so I used it instead of mine. Otherwise, the rest are Tyler's.
Enjoy the trip through Tyler's eyes!

The Michigan Forest Visitor Center sign for the Old Growth
Forest.

The Mackinac Bridge, as seen from the Lake Huron side of
Mackinaw City.
|
|
If you read the captions while looking at the other pictures,
you would know that this is Rodney, taking a picture of Tyler taking a picture of
Rodney near the Mackinac Bridge.
|
|
A look at the beach and a couple of the islands near Mackinac.
|
|
A picture of Rodney sitting in the spot that Tyler found. He thought
the rocks would make for a nice
spot to take a picture.
|
|
One of the other groups from Tyler's class. He thought that he
needed this for his assignment folder, but in reality he needed a
picture of his group. Still, it is a nice picture.
|
|
Tyler's baseball teammate, Matt. He goes to Holly Elementary,
which was taking their trip to Mackinac at the same time.
|
|
Another one of Tyler's baseball teammates - J.J.(wearing the
gray shirt). J.J. also goes to Holly El.
|
|
Danny talking to one of the "soldiers" stationed inside the
fort.
|
|
Another "soldier" talking about the steps required to fire his
weapon (and what to do in case it didn't work, which was quite
frequently).
|
|
Some of the school kids got to help prep the cannon before it
was fired.
|
Day two started off with a carriage ride tour of the
island, which is when Tyler took the majority of today's pictures. He also took
a couple of pictures in the hotel lobby, one of which was a requirement of his
homework.

Tyler's classmate David wearing a "bat-hat" (crazy hats
seemed to be a huge hit with some of the other schools, most of ours
tended to stay away from them).
