So I went to Canada and now I am back in Japan. I had little time to set anything up, no light stand or umbrella. Was working with what I had and with little daylight. Anyways, here's the first series of shots I took. I did PP to them, but I'm hoping for some constructive criticism as I'm not all that happy.
In general they are very nice... a couple things I would do if editing them.
a) straighten them
b) crop to just the gazebo... the rest is distraction
c) brighten them up a bit (with the exception on the second one
d) sit back and enjoy the memories of the trip :)
I'm curious why you chose not to bump the ISO up instead of dealing with such slow shutter speeds? You stuck with ISO 100 and one shot was done with 1/10 of a second shutter speed.

No particular reason. It was rushed. Other photos are better. This series just happens to be dark.
I agree with Eyesup on the crop the gazebo thing, when you try to include the whole gazebo the Subjects (the family) become really small and secondary.
