can you spot which one of the fiedler's is going in the pool for the first time? since amy is very much uncomfortable around water, i thought i better get this girl in the water as soon as possible. it's amazing how much water those little diapers can soak up (hers, not mine).
mission accomplished. one daughter who will not be nervous around large bodies of water.
today we are on to niagra falls. which reminds me of when my brothers and i were younger and we would go to the falls with my family. everytime we went we would spend a few days building indestructable boats using scrap wood from the garage. each of us would brag about how this year our boat would be the one to make it all the way to the ocean via the st lawrence seaway. we would paint on our names and address along with a message saying, "if you find this boat, please drop us a note and say how far they got." year after year, boat after boat would go over the falls. year after year, boat after boat, dream after dream would head over the edge... never to be seen or heard from again. ah, the memories. i wonder if this was legal? they sure wouldn't have had any trouble tracking down the young aquatic litterbugs.
one more day of travel. through canada and on to port huron, michigan.

Hey! You're in my territory. I grew up an hour and a half from NF. And we went there at least a couple of times a year. Sad when you're bored by one of the Seven Natural Wonders, but that's the point I finally reached in high school. Bet you'll have a better time.
