The pictures on this page pick up from our time crossing back and forth underneath the Mackinac Bridge, with several shots of the setting sun included. As we left the bridge and headed back towards Mackinac Island to drop off our passengers, the captain of our boat was nice enough to let the kids steer the boat. Tyler, Samantha, and Drew all took advantage of this rare opportunity, but Jayden wouldn't do it. She sat in the captain's chair with Tyler, but that was as far as she would go...
