Da U.P. (part 2)

Aloha.

Last night I took Ava, Angel and Gage to the church near our house to ride bicycles around. So Ava on her tricycle tried to keep up with the bigger kids on their 2-wheelers (Gage has training wheels). I encouraged her, as she said "We're doing racing daddy." I told her she was doing a great job of racing. The next time she she came around, Ava said to me "You let me know when I'm doing fantastic daddy!"

It's times like that I love my life.

Now, back to our St. Ignace/Tahq Falls trip.

Ava decided to instigate a sit down protest to the deforestation of vital rain forests abroad.


Or, she was having a fit. Look at that face!


So it was daddy to the rescue.
"Get that camera out of my face!"
"Please."


I thought this was a cool sign.


Here we are at the lower falls.


Peeking over Ava's shoulder as she learns about waterfalls and minerals.


"Yes daddy, I know you're back there with the camera."


I love capturing Ava as she witnesses the world around her.
We wanted to get her on one of these rowboats, and out to an island at the lower falls. Ava wanted nothing to do with it. So we tried to coax her slowly. This was as far as we got. She sat/stood in the boat and played with the oars on the boat landing. Maybe next time.


Another nature shot. This time, the upper falls.


Still more to come. We'll talk soon.

Cheers.
-Ava's Daddy
