vacation - day 5


on our 5th day of our trip, we got back in the car for another long trip across our state. this time, we were on our way to see the biggest waterfall of them all! we saw tahquamenon falls -- don't ask me to say it, i won't even try that one. it was a really long car ride and i was so happy to be out of the car, but my legs were tired from all the hiking and walking and touring we had done, so i just wanted "up." i just wanted mom to pick me up, but apparently she was getting tired too. she had enough after i got her to chase me all over the deck next to the falls and said daddy was walking me back up the 94 steps back to the trail. not a good idea. i told her, "mommy, up!" she just didn't listen. i kicked and screamed and yelled for mom all the way up.
daddy made it fun after that though. i got to ride on his shoulders almost all the way back to the restaurant and visitor center. that was great!

by the time we ate dinner though, i was done. i was really, really tired. we all were. but, as usual, mom wanted another picture. she wanted to be able to show grandmama how i was spending my money she gave me. i just couldn't smile anymore. i just wanted my moose named max and wanted to go. posed for the picture, got the moose, and we got to leave.
we drove to our new and last motel of our trip after that. mom did a good job with that because it was right on the water again. it was a really nice and new place and we could pull right up to the door, not like the last place. it was fabulous. i got a second wind when we got there and got to act goofy to make mom and daddy laugh. that was fun. we stayed up until 10 o'clock at night we were having so much fun. so, another day down. just a couple left to go.
