Niagara Falls

This past weekend we decided to take some family time over at the falls. The weather was in the mid 70's...making it perfect for a little getaway. And what would a trip to the falls be without a ride on the "Maid of the Mist".

Bella thought it was pretty funny that we asked her to put on a blue "trash bag". Of course she was happy we did after we got up close and personal with the falls.

Our next fun adventure was on the AeroCar that rides over part of the Niagara River...Bella thought were were "flying" over the water.

The highlight of our trip was our ride on the ferris wheel. Both Abbey and Bella throughly enjoyed this.

Happy 4th

Our neighboring city puts on a very large firwork display and have made this an annual family tradition. This year we enjoyed a get together at our friends and then all 60 or so of us walked down to the park to enjoy and met up with some others.

Despite Abbey's unwanting to participate in a family photo, she throughly enjoyed the display...in fact as soon as it was done, she said, mas, mas (more).

Bella almost immediately found a four legged friend and thanks to Auntie Chrystal, Bella kissed her friendly frog to see if he would turn into a prince! Ewww! After she kissed it she said, nope, no prince!

Zoo Daze!

We decided to invest in a zoo pass this year. We figured two family trips would cost us about the same, now we can make multiple trips and fun memories all summer. Here are a few pics from our first two trips!

My two favorite monkey's!

Jorge always teases me that we can't go in public without running into at least one person we know...at the zoo we ran into our friends Miss Kara, Miss Megan, Noah, Poem, and Valor!
