While in Michigan we re-visited this awesome children's museum (of sorts). Jack has so much fun exploring. Doesn't this picture remind you of the Cheshire Cat from "Alice in Wonderland"?
Jack was fascinated by this marble racer. He would drop both marbles at the top and get so excited watching them race to the bottom!
The giant tortoise! Oh the excitement.
During the animal interaction, the young woman asked who would like to volunteer to hold this PYTHON. Much to Mommy's surprise (and horror) Jack jumped right up! He wasn't scared at all and as you can see looked the thing right in the eye. What he didn't see was Mommy having a mild heart attack and then saying a prayer that one of these 2 new babies is a girl. She can only take so much of the "boy" stuff!
Afterward we headed outside to check out the gigantic instruments.

Let's Go Exploring!
Mackinac Island
Mackinac Island is such a special place. No cars allowed--just horses and bikes! We love making the day trip every summer.
Our growing family overlooking the harbor.
No trip to Mackinac would be complete without a fudge and ice cream stop. For some strange reason, neither appealed to Jack so he opted for a chocolate and sprinkle coated marshmallow. Not a bad substitute, I guess.
The Wind In His Hair
Our vacation in Michigan was filled with lots of time on the boat. Jack loved every minute of it and every brought along his best gal pal Wrigley.
One cool dude :)
Jack adores his Nana and cousin Chyann so who better to share the ride with ?!?!
Jack and Chyann scope out the "rock a bye babies", aka waves.

Back to the Land of the Living!
To our very few readers: We are sorry we have been MIA for the last month. We just got back from a super relaxing and fun 2 week vacation at Nana and Papa's lakehouse in Northern Michigan and we are trying to get reacquainted with the land of the living. We have lots of pictures and stories to share but please be patient with us. Mommy is tired these days since she is carrying around 2 babies at once but we promise to be more involved with the blog. We have so much fun stuff planned over the next few months so we will have many reasons to update. Jack's 3rd birthday is this month (YIKES!) and we are headed to Disney World in September!!! Stay tuned :)
"Busch the Gardens"
A few weeks ago we took Jack to "Busch the Gardens" (as he called it) and he LOVED it! From the second he saw Apollo's Chariot on the drive in, he was hooked! He was fascinated by everything. His favorite ride, by far, were the lady bugs.
He also really enjoyed the boats and kept saying he was just like his papa!
Jack convinced Mommy to ride the dragon egg ride!
Jack insisted on bringing the stuffed animals that he won on every ride. Yes, they are pink and yes, he picked them out himself :)
We ended the day with blue cotton candy. YUMMY!
