A day with my niece

I have many nieces and nephews back home in Michigan, but I have only one niece here in Seattle. She is Summer and recently she celebrated her 15th birthday. This summer she has been working at a day camp but happen to have this week off.
On Monday we spent the day together and went around the Arboretum lake area in a canoe. I of course took a lot of photographs.

We rented the canoe from the UW Waterfront Activities Center and we were off. Having never done this before we were both very excited. There were many girl ducks and even more ducklings of verying ages.















Summer is going to give me a hard time about posting this picture I bet :-)



The rest of the day we spent in Ballard checking out the locks and my stopping at 7-11 for a very tasty chili and cheese hotdog, mmmmmmmmm.
