Youth Group

I love my youth group...tonight we shared prayer requests and praises and got to choose what hymns we wanted to sing by raising our hands. I chose "On Jordan's Stormy Banks" and it is one
of my favorites. Just wanted to share the link, it's a really good one!

Mackinac Island

Wow! This weekend was really fun. Mackinac Island is so beautiful!

We passed Great America on the way there. It got me excited to go tomorrow!

About an hour before we got to the ferries which took us to the island, we stopped at this pretty beach/lighthouse place and walked around.



I just LOVE this picture of P'Pa.


The ferry ride was fun! Of course when we got to the island, fudge was the first thing on our list:




Chocolate peanut butter is my favorite :)

I loved this ;)

Walking in town, on the way to the resort:






We stayed at Mission Point resort, which was very beautiful and had a forest, woody, rustic theme. Perfect for us, we all love that sort of thing!

This painting hung in the room...we spent so long trying to interpret it (this is only a small bit of it.) It was funny :)


Seagull loving.
Around the resort:




And flower loving:



The next day we rented bikes and rode the 9 miles all the way around the island:


Then that night, the rents were resting and Evan and I decided to visit Arch Rock, which we had passed biking earlier:


It was SO beautiful.


Then we decided to go hiking down Manitou Trail..which turned out to be a LOT longer then we expected but so beautiful, it was worth it.

Evan climbs up and down:


More seagull loving:
That night we ate at a VERY Italian restaurant...they had such thick accents and of course the food was SO good.
