While lunch was being prepared today, Samantha decided to use the water hookup from the neighboring site as a microphone to practice her singing. Jayden was walking around with another toy, using them as drumsticks and practicing on the tree. I managed to sneak this picture of them before Sam got too embarrassed.

St. Ignace KOA

    After lunch we all hopped on our bikes for a ride to the Curio Shop that is just up the road from the campground. We have rode to the shop with the lighthouse style viewing tower for the last few years.

Another view of the Mackinac Bridge, this time zoomed in a bit.

    On our way back to the campground we stopped at Totem Village to feed the animals and browse their merchandise a little bit.

Sam feeding the deer. She was very patient with them - telling them that there was enough for each of them.

    After our bike ride, we took a drive to the Bridge View Park to take some pictures of the family, and of course the Bridge.

Bridge View Park
Tyler posing with Rodney on a rock in front of the bridge. This was as high as Tyler could be lifted, and he probably will be too big by next year to do this anymore.
Drew with Rodney in front of the bridge. Drew was a little hesitant to be lifted over Rod's head, keeping a very tight grip on him. He finally relaxed enough to do it, though.
Samantha and Rodney in front of the bridge. Sam had no problem being held so high. She even posed for the pictures - notice how straight her leg is and the smile on her face.
