Last week was an enjoyable week for our family to get away from the normal routine of life. We spent our time in the northern part of lower Michigan, as well as the Upper Peninsula. This area of America definitely shows God's beautiful handiwork. I love it up there, and so does the family. Enjoy the pictures and take a trip there sometime. You will not be disappointed! (Sorry the pictures are so mixed up, but that is how they uploaded.)
