Mackinaw Island and Petoskey

We also did Mackinaw Island earlier in August, and just recently went shopping in Petoskey. I guess we love to travel! (Or at least try to show Ermin our world in little Northern Michigan.)

College bound!

There goes Nathan! Off to Grace College in Winona Lake, Ind. His major will be Biblical Studies. We are so proud of him. He continues to bless us with his wise and God-led decisions. He is rooming with Randy, a friend he met in McBain before we moved.

Cedar Point!!! Here we come!!

Cedar Point was the next week. We are sure traveling. Nate decided not to join us. Wonder why?Nichole and her friends Sashara (Cheboygan) and Linnea (McBain) joined Ermin and I. We wondered how Ermin would feel or if she would even like rollercoasters. We had nothing to fear. She loved it!! We even went on the dragster which you will see in these next pictures.

Up to Copper Harbor.

Packed in the van- yes, packed! Seven of us ventured to the Great North. We visited wonderful friends, Lois and Paul in Dollar Bay. They welcomed us into their home and even welcomed Ermin with open arms. Thanx Lois and Paul!! We also did some shopping, and had an adventure to Copper Harbor country. What it would look like with color on the trees! It was a nice time and one I will treasure in my memory.
