Ari Invades Canada (in August)

We just got back from Fort Wayne, so most of the people in need of an Ari fix got one, but here are the pictures from Ari's trip to Toronto, for anyone who has withdrawal symptoms, and for Geoff and Tami, who are featured here!

We had no idea that Ari's first trip across Lake Ontario on the high-speed ferry might well be her last, as the company has suspended service and arguments abound concerning how to restart it. Of course, what's important is that she had a great time during the ride.

Ari was a model traveler, making sure to study the safety manual very carefully.

It was rainy on deck, and The Breeze was an appropriate nickname for the Spirit of Ontario. With the ferry traveling at about 60 mph, passengers got blown around a good deal if they ventured outside!

Lisa bought a salad from one of the shipboard snack bars and shared it with Ari. What an amazing baby...she grabbed the broccoli!

Sorry, Mom, I didn't mean to hog the good stuff...want some?

Our official reason to visit Toronto, other than riding the ferry, was to celebrate the recent nuptials of our friends Geoffrey and Tamar Singer. Ari was the hit of their cocktail party.

 

 

Ari flirts with the groom. Look out, Tami!

Geoffrey contemplates what life with such an adorable baby must be like. The parents of the newlyweds loved Ari, also...could it be wishful thinking?

 The morning after the not-a-wedding-reception party. Geoff and Tami were kind enough to offer us lodging, and in return we helped them eat their leftovers. Ari took the task very seriously, as you can see here.
