Our Cabin

We stayed in a hotel room for our first week in Tawas City, but today we moved into a cabin for 2 weeks. Here's a little tour.

AuSable River Tour

On Saturday, we went exploring the Au Sable River.

It is so beautiful. It is a National Scenic Roadway.

Along the river there are several hydroelectric plants.

Going down 270some steps to the river.

The view was worth it.

We ran into Jeff's co-worker Ray who took a family photo for us!

Next we headed down to the Iargo Springs.

Jessica wanted me to get the dragonfly's picture

Iargo Springs! Beautiful & worth the walk down the hundreds of stairs.

Beautiful shot of the river.

Beautiful tree tunnel near the river.

We had a wonderful family day enjoying just a little of God's Awesome Creation!

Family Time

Since Hubby travels for work, family time is a precious commodity! I treasure the times we are together. Here are some pics from the last few days. Enjoy!

In the van on the way to Tawas City, MI.

Swimming at our hotel.

Our first outing to the beach. Kids were not happy that we would not let them play in Lake Huron.

This was our 2nd time at the beach. I love this pic of David.

My family playing in the water. I love them so much. I'm so blessed!

Note Jessica is in mid-jump. This is after I told her not to get soaked. :-)

Building sand forts.

Walking in the water.

And yes, I was with my family! Ignore my hair. It has been crazy curly lately.
