Tahquamenon Falls

This morning Samantha, Jayden, Marissa, Uncle Steve, and I made the drive up to Paradise to take some senior pictures of Sam in the falls. You can find those pictures by clicking here. I didn't just take pictures of Sam, however, so I thought that I should share some of the other pictures as well. Below are a couple of pictures that I took in Mackinaw City...

We've been to the Lower Tahquamenon Falls several times, but this was the first time that we took a boat across to the island. The last time we went to the falls, the water was flowing so fast that we were unable to wade out into the falls. After driving all this way to take Samantha's senior pictures, we weren't about to have that happen to us this time. We went ahead and rented the boat, then rowed across to the island in the middle of the river. We headed to the falls on the south side of the island, where we had never been before, to start taking Sam's pictures. We then walked across the north-western tip of the island to explore the northern falls. Below are some of the pictures from this excursion...

	You have to be careful walking around the river, as occasionally you may fall into a hole like the one in this photo.
