We've both been very busy with the start of the school year. I can't believe it's almost Halloween and we'll be done with two months of school! Nate has finished his football season and is working hard on writing his thesis. I have been just busy with my busy and very energetic group of second graders.
This past weekend we were able to get away for a couple days to Mackinac Island. The weather on Friday was horrible and it made for a long journey by boat and finally by taxi to our hotel. What an adventure! Let's just say I have a very patient husband to put up with all of my complaining about being too wet and cold!
So why did we go to Mackinac Island in the fall? Nate has gotten back into running and had set a goal to run The Great Turtle Race, which is a 5.7 mile race on the island. The race started by Old Mission Point and went up through the island and back around down the shoreline. He finished the race in 45:24. I was so proud of him as he came across the finish line. Wow! Our friends Travis and Sam came with to cheer him on. What a fun weekend once we were dry! Enjoy the pictures!

Look at the rainbow and the color of those trees? Beautiful!
One last picture before boarding the ferry! I am one lucky girl!
