This weekend we took a short family vacation to Mackinac Island. It was so much fun!! We spent the night in Mackinaw City and then woke up early the next morning to ride the ferry boat to the Island. Tommy was very excited to ride the boat, but not at all excited to wear his heavy coat for the first time this winter. After I put it on he was pouting and when I asked him what was wrong he answered, "I look like a big blue monster."
Mommy and Tommy on the ferry
Trying to sneak into the Grand Hotel. This was about as far as we got before we were stopped :)
Daddy and Tommy at breakfast.
We took the horse carriage ride tour around the island. Tommy LOVED the horses. These two were Sam and Doc and Tommy talked to them for our entire 10 minute stop. For those not familiar with Mackinac- it is a 6 square mile island north of Michigan's lower peninsula. There are no motorized vehicles allowed on the island so everyone gets around either on bikes or by horse.
Tommy asked me to take his picture with the pumpkins in front of our hotel. He is getting really good at saying "cheese," but not very good at looking at the camera while saying it.
Tommy at Insect World looking at the butterflies.
When you pushed the different pictures on the wall it made different sounds. Tommy played with it for longer than we were actually looking at the butterflies.
Tommy loved all of the horses so much and kept asking to bring them home. He thought Cooper, our dog, would really like to see a horse :) We didn't purchase a real horse, but we did buy this small plastic one that Tommy named Robert. No clue where that name came from! He is incredibly proud of Robert and has been sleeping with him at night.
Mommy and Tommy on the beach. You can see the Mackinac Bridge in the background.
Ready for night-night in the hotel!
The next day we met up with my parents and Dan and Kristina at Arcadia Bluffs Golf Club. The boys played golf while us girls and Tommy drove around northern Michigan and did a little shopping. Here's Tommy and Papa playing on the practice green.
The golfers- look how pretty Lake Michigan is in the background. We had gorgeous weather!
