McDaniel Family Reunion and Mackinac Island

 This is from the first night at the resort.  We sat around the campfire and made S'mores. 
It was wonderful getting to meet a lot of Cory's family for the first time. 
 Houghton Lake was beautiful!  This is a picture right outside of our cabin.  I wish I could've gotten a good picture of what it looked like at night with the full moon shining down on it....
 The ferry that we took over to Mackinac Island was faster than I thought it would be.  We went under the five-mile bridge during the ride and I was able to snap a quick picture while we were going under the bridge.  The bridge is a work of modern art!!!
 This is a natural arch made of limestone in the state park on Mackinac Island.  The views at the top of the island were absolutely breathtaking!  There were people in the water below and they were taking large rocks and creating words with them under the water.  The words were big enough so the visitors at the top of the island could read them. 
 This was also at the top of the island by the arch.  The water kind of looked like the Caribbean with all of the different shades of blue, though I doubt it was the same temperature as the Caribbean :)
 This picture was taken the day we had to leave in front of the main house.  In the picture is one of Cory's sisters (Emily) and her three children (Onnicah, Elijah, and Grayson), his mom (Kelly) and stepdad (Bill), his uncle Jim and aunt Deb and their 2 daughters Maddie and Abby, his grandpa and his wife Barb, his aunt Kendyl and uncle John and their son Henry, and Barb's daughter (Patty) and son-in-law (Eddie) and their son, Logan.  We had a wonderful time and can't wait until the next time we are all together again!
Onnicah is enjoying the S'more that she made. 
Cory is such a goofball!
