In Sault Ste. Marie












While Frank was busy at his conference, Ali, Olivia, and I went to the locks and saw the big boats go from Lake Superior to Lake Huron, went shopping, went swimming, and relaxed. Then, when Frank was free at night, we did many of the family activities that the conference had to offer. We went putt putt, went to the night dessert receptions, the Soo Locks Dinner Boat tour and dinner, and the annual bonfire. We had a lot of fun. Olivia loved trying to hit the golf balls, seeing all the boats on the water, and especially all the sweets!

At the Falls











Once we were in the UP, we went to Tahquamenon Falls before Frank's conference started. On the way there, we stopped at the edge of Lake Superior and put our feet in...a little cold! Olivia really liked seeing the waterfalls and kept yelling "waterfall"! We saw both the upper and lower falls, which were beautiful!

Traveling to the UP












The drive up north wasn't bad since we broke it up into 2 days. We have fun stopping by the lake in Boyne. The girls both slept, but we woke them up to see the bridge. Olivia loved seeing the water and the boats!

Waterpark Fun!









We traveled up to Boyne again this year to go to the waterpark on our way up to the Soo. Olivia had a lot of fun this year and was able to go on the kids slide. She also had a lot of fun jumping into the kiddie pool. Frank and Ali had a lot of fun going down all the waterslides. I loved playing with Olivia and was convinced to float in the lazy river...which was a little cold!
