My family went up north to the Mackinaw Bridge this last weekend for a mini-vacation. Last year at this time we were at
Disney World . We couldn't afford to do that again, so we thought we'd do something on a smaller scale, and still have a great time together. We all had so much fun, we thought we would make it an annual October event! There wasn't much color left on the trees, but we found a lot of great sales, since everyone was closing for the season after the weekend!

Our family!
Brenton and the "Big Mac". On the way home, we went through McDonald's drive-thru and Brenton insisted on getting a Big Mac in honor of our vacation!
Brinlee as we were crossing the bridge. I just got her this new car seat, as her old one broke last week. It is just a shoulder belt and was working great, until we were in the car for 5 hours and she got sick of sitting and realized she could unbuckle herself!
The kids playing on the pirate ship outside "
Sea Shell City". Everyone wanted to go there for old time's sake. Papa said it hadn't changed a bit in over 30 years! We tried to take the kid's to
Castle Rock, but it was closed for the season. We were so disappointed, we planned on looking for Yaya and Auntie Great's initials that they carved 40 some years ago!
Jaron with his treasure chest he bought at Sea Shell City. He was so proud of this and carried it all around the rest of the night, filled with all the treasures he found.
We stopped in Gaylord for pizza and it had an arcade attached to it. We had the whole place to ourselves.
The whole gang (minus me, the photographer).
