crazy statue on the toronto exposition center, which doubles as the baseball field for the blue jays. |
a view of the glass floor from inside the cn tower. it was a little freaky standing there. the eyes and the feet were giving my brain two different signals that didn't jive with each other. |
inside the open air section of the cn tower. |
the players are too small to see but there was actually a ball game going on while we were there. |
tall... |
this old round house, across the street from the expo center, was completely disassembled so they could build an underground parking garage and then reassembled back to its original form. |
inside the round house is steam whistle brewery. this was part of their brewhouse. |
wham! bam! take that! |
richard had never had such a big prime rib in his life and he said it was the best he hhad ever had. it was like 24 ounces... it was huge! |
this was a big farmers market in the middle of montreal. lots of really good veggies, fruits and snacks. |
mai just loves her some fruit. |
it took her a few tries, but mai finally got a bubble that covered her whole body. this was at the science museum in montreal. |
mom and richard at the science museum. |
another view of the cn tower. until 2007 it was the tallest freestanding structure in the world and it is still the second highest public observation deck at 1,465 ft. |
dottie and george aand kyle and us after a sushi dinner in chicago. |

1200 miles worth of dead bugs. ugh. |

a herd of deer in yellowstone national park. |
yellowstone scenery. |
from halfway through minnesota until approaching reno, nevada, this was what our cell phones looked like. at&t may cover 97% of americans (the people) but it certainly doesn't cover 97% of america (the land). |
yellowstone trees. |
there were lots of water falls just randomly coming out of rocks all through yellowstone. |
bison were all over the park on the day we were there. we also saw a moose and a coyote but weren't able to get pics of them. |
dragon's mouth hot spring in yellowstone. |
the edge of morning glory hot spring in yellowstone where all the sulpher and other minerals congealed into this yellow messy gunk. |
morning glory hot spring in yelllowstone. this water was way too hot to even think about wanting to go in it. |
we had to wait an hour for it, but old faithful didn't let us down. |
