Up North

Some highlights from our vacation last week:
  • making racecar jelly sandwiches for my nephew's lunch
  • kayaking down the Sturgeon River's swift current with my husband and siblings
  • watching my mom kayak down that same current in the middle of a downpour (the boys have such a brave grammy)
  • hearing Eli giggle when Tristan poured buckets of ice cold water over his head
  • letting Rebekah finally win at Settlers
  • borrowing Dad's camera to take some fun pictures of the boys on the river bank
  • beating Dave in mini golf. by one stroke. again.
  • two words: Dairy Mart
  • a picnic at the elusive Eckerman Trout Pond in the U.P.
  • watching Luke's face when on the swings at the Family Fit 'n Fun park
  • biking White Road
  • watching Tristan explore with his binoculars
  • throwing rocks in the river at the bridge
  • sharing some meaningful Bible verses together on Sunday morning
  • the wii picture music... yawn...
  • sleeping in (or at least getting to go back to sleep) twice
  • the Quest of the Questing Beast
  • a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful time with a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful family

...and here are a few pictures. WARNING: I took a lot of photos, so this is just a smattering to give you a taste. Enjoy.
