Ohio trip - part 2

* Please view Part 1 before this one... I did it a little backwards! *

We went on 3 seperate outings during the duration of our stay, the zoo, a baseball game, and a week long family trip to Mackinac Island area.

The Zoo
- Alia's first time at the zoo!!

- Cousin Sydney and Alia having fun

- Ali and I's favorite animal!!!

- Alia absolutely LOVED the monkeys/gorillas... she couldn't get enough of them!

- The zoo crew


The baseball game
- Swimming at Uncle Josh and Auntie Erin's pool before the game



- Auntie Erin and Ali in their shades

- The game









(This is one of those famous "who in the world took this?" shots. We know who it was, but he shall remain anonymous... just wanted to clarify!)
- At the end of the game they let kids run around the bases and there was a HUGE line up, so we weren't going to take Alia. We finally decided to after all, and Alia ended up being the very last kiddo to cross home plate! Oh was she ever cute, gracious! The whole stadium even cheered for her as she went across!


- Fireworks at the end of the game



Mackinac Island/Michigan
- Our lovely cabins





- Playing at the playground




- The guys went to Drummond Island mudding one day... Jon said the truck did good, except the long box, crew cab part!




- Sault St. Marie boat locks

(before)

(after)


- The "famous" Antler's restaurant that Mom went to all the time as a kid!



- What a life eh?!

- The not so impressed Alia on the boat




- Mackinac Island
- Loaded up to head to the ferry

- Last minute tune ups on our bikes... note to self, ride them a little before hand next time!!



- On the ferry to the island


- The Mackinac Island Grand Hotel








- This is as close as we got to the hotel... at $300/night for a "bare bones" room, we just aren't quite in the same league!
