Wendy & Vanessa




Wendy and Vanessa came to visit in late July. We did a sampler tour of the National Park. This is the walk to view Brandywine Falls.














View from the top of the falls.




Interesting bug on the railing.




Sampling berries near the parking lot.














Chickory.




A turkey family dashed across the road in front of us.









We made it to the Canal Visitor Center just in time to watch a demonstration of the lock.









Glen got to participate in opening one set of gates.



















Inside the Visitor Center, they have a scale model.




Alan got to try out the mechanism.




Vanessa moves the boat through the system.




Adjacent to the Visitor Center is a pedestrian bridge across the Cuyahoga River.














We had high hopes after reading these signs.




But the view in summer is not too exciting.




We spent a bit of time at the Echo Hills playground.




Croquet is an interesting challenge here.




Alan and Vanessa made cupcakes.




Vanessa did a set of lovely flowers.









Alan created mushrooms.
