Vacation with the Yeh Family - Boyne City, MI

This was our second annual "Yeh Family Reunion". We stayed for a week in Boyne City, MI with Nai-Nai (Grandma), Yie-Yie (Grandpa), Uncle Alvin, Aunt Shaila, Grace (4) and Trentin (1).

Elbert took Nathan and Andrew to "Stroll The Streets" downtown. Their favorite parts were the face painting and the balloon swords.


Evan buried his feet all by himself. Yes, that is a necklace around his neck. He won it as a prize in a treasure hunt we did at a place called Castle Farms. He wore it proudly.

An attempt at a family picture. It was the best one out of about 5 tries...

Here are the kids at Castle Farms. They were feeding the rainbow trout in the pond.

In order to get to Castle Farms, we had to take a car ferry. The ferry held 4 cars at a time and took us a short distance across Lake Charlevoix to the road.

This is the only time the 5 kids were sitting still together...watching TV.

The boys were "fishing" with sticks in the river.

Andrew was playing "teacher" in an old one-room school house.

At first, Evan didn't like the backpack. He finally warmed up to it.

We spent a morning at Ravens Hill Discovery Center. We got to hold a gecko, tarantula and snakes. In this picture, the snake was sniffing my armpit with his tongue. It really tickled!

Nathan thought it was really cool to hold the snake.

We got to feed a 60 lb. tortoise his lunch.

Andrew spent hours with the bow. The arrows were lost, so he improvised with "stick" arrows.

Nathan at the beach...He looks so grown up.
