On our way to Iowa


first stop is Grand Rapids
we had a quick stop at the second rest area but it only took us 5 hours and 15 minutes



It was a short but good visit



The only time Elijah got out of the car after a nice long nap



was for lunch and he enjoyed it



Iowa gas 1.9 per gallon
fill-up at the worlds largest truck stop

Bruce trail Waterdown


Starting at the tunnel just past Clappison's corners


The first part we had to really look at our feet
so we wouldn't fall


They had some rain, but it looked dry


love a picture with train tracks


we put our feet in the water


walking beside this river with all kinds of cascading water


getting to the bigger falls of 
Smokey Hollows


Out look over Hamilton
