Hope you Like Lakes - Day Two

It's a good thing the Yost family enjoys a good lake, because, as it turns out, this country is full of them. Day two involved us traveling from Thunder Bay to Wawa with a stop to put our feet in Lake Superior in between. I will confess that the thought of putting my feet in the largest of the Great Lakes made me giddy, and it was certainly a highlight of the day for me.

Mmmmm, motel breakfast

The Terry Fox memorial on the spot he had to end his run. I got a little emotional when I saw it. They have done a beautiful job with the site.

Teresa and Frances burning some energy at the memorial before we force them back into the car.

Aguasabon River Gorge, this made Kakabeca Falls look like a ditch.

We are saving money by keeping a cooler full of breakfast and lunch stuff, and the best part of this has been picnics. 

We went for a bike ride on a hiking trail (not recommended) and this was just a random view on the way. Our trip has been full of this so far, and it's boggling the mind of this prairie girl.

A Yost family foot portrait. We all got to put our feet in Lake Superior.

Ken likes to go the extra mile, so he put his whole body in.

We also stopped in White River to see the "birth place" of Winnie the Pooh. Ken insisted on purchasing a souvenir t-shirt (for Teresa) and we met a lovely family traveling from Edmonton, so the girls had some playmates for a while.

I hope your trip on Saturday is as adventurous as Friday's. Is this Cara's first road trip to Ottawa and beyond?
