Last winter when it was cold and dark, Amalia got the idea for a boating vacation. It took one quick phone call to her Uncle Josh to get the Wissing family on board (Grandma Sandy and Grandpa were an easy sell) and the timing was right to plan for a week in Northern Michigan following the annual Tucker reunion. My sister found a fantastic house to rent right on the Cheboygan River and we explored that cute little town and spent our sunny days boating on the beautifully clear Mullet Lake. We took a day trip to Mackinaw Island and ate great beachside food (and fudge!) after long walks and bike rides. It was a fantastic vacation filled with memories.

| This guy kept sneaking the amazing pies that our cousin Gerry made for us. Regardless of what time of day it was. |

| This guy was a total grump on boating day until Uncle Josh FINALLY let him drive the boat. It's a good thing he's cute. |
 |
| She even loved the life jacket. |

| Is there tubing in the Olympics? |
 |
| She caught the very first fish and had her dad grill it for lunch the next day! |
