A few scenes from Houghton

The trip to Houghton was a whirlwind of visits. We also got all the latest updates on friends still there and those who have moved on. Sadly, we had another night in which the card out of the camera left us without some great pictures. Friends Molly and Erik had 2 girls when we left and had a little boy shortly after we left. Shortly after arriving in Houghton we found out that they had added to the family... twins!!! They now have 5 kids, 3 girls and 2 boys. The twins are 2 months old and so precious. The house is crazy. Fortunately, Molly and Erik are great peoople and wonderful parents. Their 20 month old was enamored with Wyatt and Wyatt was with him as well. Wyatt being hugged was beyond adorable and we are really sad to not have had the camera for a picture or 2. Still, it was a great visit

Here are a few pictures from our stroll along the Portage to the lift bridge.

Firday at 4 we loaded up the rental car and started off for the long road tirp downstate to Lansing. To make it easier on Wyatt, we left later so he would be asleep (hopefully) most of the time. He did pretty good, sleeping nicely and only getting fussy around final bedtime. Outside of Marquette but before Munising, we stopped at a roadside park to let Wyatt dip his toes in Lake Superior. Other than the cold, I think he enjoyed the experience :-)
