Nathan, Natalie, Sophia & Emily on the Vista King.
They had a trivia question on the cruise......the first person to go to the pilot house & name all 5 Great Lakes would win. Sophia knew the answer and ran up to the pilot house. She won this cool.......& very tall.....Vista Fleet cup. Great job, Sophia! :)
Sonja & Todd on the Vista King.......it started getting pretty chilly out on the water, so I put on my sweatshirt.
When we were coming back in at the end of the harbor cruise, we saw a bunch of sailboats. Captain Jeff said that every Friday night there is a sailboat regatta in the harbor. It was cool to see all of those sailboats so we made sure we got some pictures with the arial bridge in the background. :)
Last Thursday night, I attended my first lacrosse game. Our 9 year old nephew, Justin, decided that he wanted to try playing lacrosse this summer. It is a fast paced game & Justin is really enjoying it......I'd better work at learning how this game is played. :)
Diane, Lana, Dave, Todd, Cathy......Evan......Sonja.
They had stars along the trail with the names of the different teams. We went in a big circle so on the way back to the Start/Finish line, we picked up The Williams Walkers Star & put it in the wagon with Evan. Evan would walk..........then ride............then walk.........then ride.........etc. :)
They were doing face painting at one of the tents. Evan was very excited to get a kitty on his arm.
Here is a close up of the kitty.
Evan kept wanting a balloon, but they were just decorations on the tents & signs. When we were leaving, a guy looked like he was going to take down the big starting line banner. I asked him if he was going to take down the sign & he said he was.............I asked him if Evan could have one of the balloons & he said, "Oh, sure!" He and another guy cut off the whole bunch from one side & gave it to Evan. We were walking away & Evan was very excited to get 6 balloons instead of 1, when the guys asked if we would like the other bunch, too. So Evan ended up with 11 balloons! :)When we were driving home, Evan said, "That was really fun!" :)
