I can't believe summer is over... it went by way too quickly this year! My sister Angie came and stayed with us all summer; she babysat Marin while we went to work every day. It was so nice to have her here! I hope she had a good time; I know Marin enjoyed playing with her auntie :) In August, Adam and I were able to take a short vacation to Mackinac Island, MI (our first trip since moving back to MN 2 1/2 years ago). Adam's mom and grandmother came to watch Marin while we were gone and I know they enjoyed spending time with her. We had a nice break from day to day life and enjoyed seeing something new. Other than that, our summer was pretty uneventful.
Marin enjoyed "swimming" in her little pool.
We took a couple trips to the Oxbow Zoo... Marin LOVES the animals!
Our trip consisted of lots of narrow roads and lots of trees. There is no interstate leading to Mackinac so we had to take the scenic route...

We went to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada for dinner one evening on our trip... just because we had never used our passports or been to Canada.

I loved Mackinac Island... I would definitely recommend visiting if you have never been. It is full of cute little shops, fudge, beautiful views, and horsedrawn carriages.

Motorized vehicles are not allowed on Mackinac Island so the only ways to get around are by foot, by horse, or by bike... we used all three methods!
