We now live almost as close to Lake Huron as to Lake Ontario. I love dipping my toes in the water or just striding along the beach.<BR/>It looks like you had a wonderful vacation and it's quite an accomplishment to see all of the Great Lakes.<BR/><BR/>KatPoetikathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11803058.post-64776076421499763402008-09-04T21:54:00.000-05:002008-09-04T21:54:00.000-05:00My butt's tired just thinking about driving that route.

And when they got too squirrelly, I just tossed them in the trunk. JUST KIDDING!

That must make me king or something.<BR/><BR/>karen meg - I don't remember saying anywhere they had a choice. ;-)<BR/><BR/>jennine - Yes. And thanks for assking.<BR/><BR/>maureen - Too late now anyway. I added the missing picture.<BR/><BR/>mom - What? You blew up my kids?!!! Hey, if you think your grandkids are good-looking you should see your son!<BR/><BR/>liberal banana - We didn't spend much time there but Brandon really liked RIT a lot. And I don't blame him... that's a beautiful campus!<BR/><BR/>elizabeth - Funny you should ask. The kids were all set to swim in Lake Ontario but they had a sign up that said the water conditions were unsafe - whatever that means.<BR/><BR/>heather - Rosie was having fun with how shallow the water was out there. But yes, her brothers could have probably used a shower too.<BR/><BR/>michelle - Roseanna was our designated toe-toucher. I have other pictures that show her in every lake but these were the best ones of the gang.<BR/><BR/>sarah - More like too lazy - to take off their shoes and socks and roll up their pants etc.<BR/><BR/>corrina - Me too. They're much easier than weeding through all those words.<BR/><BR/>april - Oh well, you can't have it all.<BR/><BR/>dan - You're on to me Dan. Actually, we took all of those at down at Blackmoorfoot.<BR/><BR/>teri - Thanks, but no need for worship. Unless you're giving to my collection plate that is.<BR/><BR/>durblady - Thanks. I'll be doing the Austin update in the next few days. That was quite a surprise!<BR/><BR/>ed - That actually was a fun trip. You could easily spend 2 weeks just stopping at cool places around the lakes. And if you were to do it for real, you'd definitely want to go up and over Lake Superior too.Jeffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13868852480996815442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11803058.post-84177435123522046012008-09-04T08:41:00.000-05:002008-09-04T08:41:00.000-05:00Basically, I'm sayinjg that is one of the best ideas for a road trip---EVER!Ed (zoesdad)http://www.blogger.com/profile/05407108771231260027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11803058.post-24474002291314654512008-09-04T08:40:00.000-05:002008-09-04T08:40:00.000-05:00Alrighty then.
