Mother's Day (May 10, 2009)

On a cold, windy Mother's Day afternoon(or at least it was over at the river), I was out waiting for Jay's boat (the Calumet) to go under the Bluewater Bridges.

Of course, the Calumet had to wait for the Canadian Prospector to come down

Here she comes. There's the Coast Guard Cutter Hollyhock and the Huron Lightship in the background

Getting ready to make the turn from the St. Clair River into Lake Huron. Heading up to Stoneport to load more stone.

March Break (March 14, 2009)

At the beginning of March Break, Amy, Kevin, Sara, Jacob, and Daniel came to visit for a weekend. The girls went out shopping for Sara's graduation dress while the guys went up to Cabelas.

It's a Boat!!! It's a Boat!!! It's Uncle Jay's Boat (April 23, 2009)

In April, I went over to visit with Jenn and Addy for a few days while Graham was gone. On the Thursday afternoon, Jay's boat came into Cleveland, so we went down to see the boat and pick him up and go out for supper

Here's Addy and Uncle Jay infront of the boat. She didn't quite get to see the whole boat, so she didn't know it was a boat, but was fascinated by the rocks falling off the boom.

Addy waiting for her supper at Rock Bottom Brewery in the Flats

After supper, we went over to Edgewater Park to let Addy run around and wear off some energy

Addy playing with her balloons. Probably one of my most favorite pictures from the visit.
