Lower Tahquamenon Falls
	This was my attempt at getting an updated Facebook picture for my Mom...
	...which led to more pictures, this time of Mom and Dad.
	Drew, Samantha, Tyler, Grandma Terry, Grandpa Gary, and Jayden together on the tree beside the Tahquamenon River.
	Drew, Sam, Tyler, Tara, Rodney, and Jayden on the tree.
	Jay, Drew, Rod, Tyler, and Sam sitting on a rock in the river.
	A warning sign along the trail to the lower falls.
	Tyler climbed the fence to lean on this tree, and it made a decent picture of him.
	Use your imagination with these trees. Just to be fair, I can't take credit for this one... it was my Mom who pointed it out first.

By 3:30pm it was time for us to head back to Sault Ste. Marie to try and see the freighters go through the locks. We passed the time by watching movies in the van.

We lucked out with our timing to the locks. We arrived just as the largest ship on the great lakes, the Paul R. Tregurtha, was coming in. This ship is over 1,000' long, and took forever to make it's way out of the lock. In fact another 600+ footer came into the other lock, was raised to position, and exited the lock before the Tregurtha made it's way out. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the freighters up close.
