We woke up early this morning to ride our bikes back into
town in order to take them with us to Mackinac Island today. Here are a few
pictures from our boat ride to the island on an Arnold Transit Co. catamaran.

little better than it was for
this picture of Tara and Sam during our last family trip in
2004!

Before we started our bike ride we spotted this horse
going through town. Jayden instantly fell in love with the island when she it!

We made our way around the island, searching for the
infamous Crack-in-the-Island that Tyler and I discovered during his school trip.
The first place we came upon was Devil's Kitchen, where we took a moment to rest
and take some family pictures.
