I got my wish. I wanted one rainy day on this vacation. One day to be lazy, to read, to have family time and this was the day. The most inconvenient day for it to happen but, I did get my wish. You see, I've been waiting for years, YEARS to get Jeremy and Jacob down to watch a big ship come through Manistee. I used to watch with my dad and well...when you see just how close we are to Algoway here, you'll understand.
My favorite spot for watching was empty. We had waited over an hour for her to get underway. It was raining and the three of us were quite wet. But, this is my favorite shot - when her bow just peeks out from the bend.
And the bridge starts to open.
Almost there.
Coming through!
This pair of ducks swam across the channel just a little before the ship came through. Jacob was a little nervous they wouldn't make it
My boys and their first ship!
There were a few deckhands moving about and Jacob waved to them all, calling out "Have a safe trip!". Every one of them waved back and shouted 'hello'. They're so close you can see them smiling!
So much to see and take in. I'm so thankful to those of you who helped me make this happen!
Have you ever seen a waterlogged porcupine living on the beach?
Also on this trip, my son got his very first Big Al's pizza. Look at the excitement on that face!
Momma and daddy got one too! Yum!
And our brown dog, she stayed warm and dry in our cabin. She missed us so much though, she made sure to secure her spot in my bed for the night!
