Family Get-a-way 2012

This year, we took the kids to Niagara Falls, and stayed on the Canadian side.  I used to cover upstate NY for work, so I have been there a few times, but, I thought it would be a cool thing for the kids to see and enjoy.


Our room with a view.  M said it was "creepy."  Figures.


At the hotel pool.  My two fish could have stayed in there all day.  I have said it once, and I will say it again, we would save ourselves a ton of $ if we just picked a location with the ocean and/or pool and stayed there all day.  


Yucky Niagara weather on day one.  We thought day 2 would be worse, so we tried to do a lot on day 1.  Turns out, we were wrong....


Maid of the Mist preparation.  M & B were very reluctant to get "on-board" (and it didn't help that Doug did a lot of teasing about going over the Falls in a barrel), but, they both LOVED it!


My turn for a photo op!


And to think that day 2 was supposed to be crummy weather wise.  Glad they were wrong!


Its hard to see, but look waaaay back, and you can see the Falls.  I focus on my two beautiful kids!

  2. Great trip; you guys all look terrific! Someday we'll be ready for road trips...some day... =) Thanks for the update. How is the school thing going? We're sending M to kindergarten; we'll see how it goes. He's allegedly turning 5 in June...I'd say it's at least 6 really. But for now he fits in size wise and loves the kids in his pre school class. I always hear how these kids have huge growth spurts the first year. We've been home 8 months and he's definitely grown,but not some crazy amount. little m on the other hand is growing like crazy...
