Splash In and Father's Day!

This past weekend was the Splash-in in Grand Marais.  Lots of sea planes were in the bay!  It is very exciting and fun to watch the activities.  Also, we have had some lovely guests staying with us.  A couple of anniversaries - 1 was a 3 month and the other 35 years!  I just love it when people come UP and stay with us to celebrate one of their important events.  For breakfast this morning we had blueberry pancakes, scrambled eggs with ham, peppers, onions and spices, fresh baked cinnamon coffee cake and juicy, sweet watermelon - delicious!

My parents came UP to visit last Wednesday - unfortunately they have to go home tomorrow.  We had a great time with them, showing them some of our natural beauty and just spending some quality time together.  Here is a picture of them at the log slide lookout:
We also had time to go out to the school forest, Sable Falls and Beach and of course we walked around our town.  During the Splash in there were also many Bikers in town from the Blaney Park Rondevous which is always on Father's Day weekend, too!  Last night we went on the Pictured Rocks Sunset cruise.  It was very beautiful - even when it's cloudy the rocks look awesome - a trip well worth taking when you can.  Also, we had a nice bite to eat at the Falling Rock Cafe and Bookstore in Munising before the cruise - great atmosphere and fresh food.  Here are some pictures that I took on the cruise:
You should really take the time to go on one of the cruises - it is much better to see the rocks in person and they give you lots of information about Lake Superior. 
Hope everyone had a wonderful Father's Day - it was very special that my dad was here on this day!
Have a great day!
