Last Vacation of Summer

Well, Summer is officially coming to an end here at Main Street House. Just yesterday we returned home from our last vacation of the summer and are now getting ready to go back to school, which starts next Wednesday.

I know that you all missed me while I was away last week but I was relaxing on Huckleberry Island in Lake Huron. I love all of our summer vacations but this one is pretty high up on my list of favorites. I grew up vacationing here and it is so much fun to take The Girls up there now. The only way to get to the island is by boat and there are no roads which means no cars, no bike, no nothing. Just a big pile of rocks in the middle of the water. What this also means is NO ELECTRICITY!!! So the place is basically timeless and looks and feels very much the same way it did when I was a kid.

We had beautiful weather and had such a nice time visiting with my parents, my sister with her husband and their brand new baby!!! Such a great week!

Just sitting on the rocks enjoying the view:)

There was a lot of swimming! Here the girls are jumping off the dock to Grandpa waiting in the water.

The Oldest even ventured out to the boat where she was jumping off the bow.

There was also some lounging in the tube...

...and death defying tricks on the Water Totter.

The Oldest enjoyed digging in the sand...

...and Kayaking with Grandma.

Even The Dog had a great time running free all over the island!

But now it is back to the grind and back to our routine (dare I say that is something I am excited about). Get ready, also, because more House posts are coming your way tomorrow!

Linking up over at Whisper Wood Cottage!
