Big Paul
Big geese
(these spots are KILLING me. We will clean our sensor sometime.)
The Badlands of North Dakota
A river in the Rocky Mountains
Yellowstone
Snow
And now you know about everything between Minnesota and Idaho.

Mystery Spot
I'll let you in on the secret, since who knows when you'll make it up to middle-of-nowhere Michigan to see for yourself.
The mystery spot ignores the laws of nature.
It's a place where it's hard to walk without falling over.
And water runs uphill.
It is a mystery.

Harbor Springs
We spent two nights at Uncle Don and Aunt Vicky's place in Harbor Springs, MI.
We also got to see my cousin Chris Howse and buy some fudge from his fudge shop.
They are doing some construction in town because apparently they haven't been changed since the late 19th century. Hooray for progress.
This cannon is here in case the French try and invade again.
Don and Vicki took us out to dinner at this place, which is not, as I first heard, called "Leg Zen." They had the best Polish food I've ever had.
And they also had a cool door.
That night, perhaps feeling the aftereffects of the saur kraut pierogi, I got a wild hare to jump in Lake Michigan.
So I did.
And then Rasheed (the dog) got so worked up that he surprised us all by jumping jumped in too. Apparently it was 'Sheed's first time in the lake, but he took it like a champ.
I should also mention that Tyedye the cat and Bunny the cat (perpetually unpictured) were great hosts as well.

We saw all Great Lakes
They looked like this:
A lighthouse on Lake Ontario.
Niagara Falls is so close to Lake Erie, that we're just going to call this our picture of Lake Erie.
Niagara Falls is not as tall as Shoshone Falls in Twin Falls. Laura and I made a bet about this, and now I get a doublescoop ice cream cone from Cold Stone (devotees will remember that I previously won a Dairy Queen cone, but that never happened so we went double or nothing on this one).
This is the lighthouse on the American side of Canada. And that's Lake Huron.
Harbor Springs on Lake Michigan (more on that later).
A wild Laura on Lake Superior.
Bonus: Lake Gogebic
Double Bonus: that there river

Palmyra
We went to a Memorial Day Parade in Rochester, NY,
on our way to Palmyra. After listening to informative, interesting, and inspiring messages on the tours of the Joseph Smith Home, Granden Printing Press and Hill Cumorah, we nonetheless developed a greater appreciation for brevity.

Part of our weekend
Now we are in upstate New York. We are here for a wedding but we've also been able to do some sightseeing. This picture was taken at the Joseph Smith farm in Palmyra. It's beautiful there.

old photos newly developed
Developing old film for the first time is almost as exciting as the moment the photos were taken.
This photo was taken earlier this spring when the cherry blossoms were in bloom.
This is from our campout in Zion's.
This is me in Mexico last summer. I have been looking at those pictures a lot lately. I want to go back. Although, our weather here has been so hot and muggy lately it's almost like we are there.
