On The Road

We are gone! Headed to Blake & Kristal's. Going to see Bonnie. 😁
Oklahoma

Oklahoma!!! A very BRIGHT state line pic!
Blake & Kristal's

We got to their house about 7:30pm. She made us some awesome chicken fried steak, mmmm. The guys shot guns and then went to Gerald and Lora's and played pool until 11:30pm, where Weston wiped the Czytaj więcej
Missouri!

Missouri State Line. Talon wanted to climb the backside of the sign but he said he wasn't strong enough. A mile down the road, we needed a gas and bathroom stop. It was such a cool truck stop. The Czytaj więcej
Indiana!!

We're finally in Indiana! Nana needed to get a dress to Kameo, so guess who we got to see?...
Family Pics!

We got family pics! It's the first time we've all been together, when we were able to take pictures since 2013. I think it's time!
On the Road

After having to turn around because Nathanael doesn't have an awesome wife to take care of him and he forgot his passport, we made it to Johnny & Jackie Schoolcraft's to pick up Eric & Rachel. They Czytaj więcej
Ohio!

Ohio! Bunny ears, funny faces, scary traffic and the need of a bathroom are all hidden behind our smiling faces...
Lake Erie

We stopped at Luna Pier, MI to check out Lake Erie.
Lake Erie Take 2

After we took all our group pictures, we walked around and explored.
Lake Huron

We stopped at Fort Gratiot, TWP to see Lake Huron. Definitely prettier than Lake Erie. There was a pretty lighthouse
Playing In Lake Huron

I don't know because I never put my feet in the water, but I think the water was cold. Check out Mom's reaction and you decide.
CANADA

We missed the Michigan State Line sign. Construction made it disappear. It was a pretty sign too.
The Bridge to Canada was so cool, and Tresia completely freaked over the height of it and the boat Czytaj więcej
American Falls

The American Falls is 2 waterfalls on the American side.
Horseshoe Falls

What most call Niagara Falls although, (warning-nerd info coming up...) technically all of the falls make up Niagara Falls.
It's so awesome what God created. Horseshoe Falls used to recedes 1 foot Czytaj więcej
Niagara Falls, Canada

We made it! So, FYI...Canada is expensive! Gas and hotels and food and...pretty much everything costs more. We were a half block from IHOP and thought we'd go there for breakfast. My $8 meal I usually Czytaj więcej
Journey Behind The Falls

Doug had to hoof it about 1.25 miles from the hotel because I had to pick up our WEGO passes this morning. Parking close to falls-$20. Hotel parking-free. The bus pass is the way to go.
The first Czytaj więcej
Bromance???

So we did quite a bit of sitting, waiting on people to catch up or go to the bathroom. Doug and Eric started trying to stare at each other and make the other laugh first. Neither one was very good at Czytaj więcej
Hornblower

We did the Hornblower next. This is the boat that takes you to the base of the falls. It is so bright and wet that you can barely keep your eyes open. I think most of my pictures, I just stick my Czytaj więcej
Random Niagara

At different places we were given ponchos.
Journey Behind the Falls-yellow.
Hornblower-red.
Niagara Fury (a cool 3D falls movie)-blue.
Nana wanted to keep them...this is the "birthday party", as Czytaj więcej
White Water Walk

We spent a few hours doing our own things and met up at 5pm to walk the White Water Walk that followed the river below the falls. WOW! The rapids on this beast are crazy. They are considered a Czytaj więcej
White Water Rapids

Check out the rapids! They were 6.5' waves. The water was so blue too!
Skylon Tower

Skylon Tower, 775 feet above the falls. Man that thing was tall and the wind was cold. Doug and I took the boys up the tower and then caught up with everyone else at Popeyes. They ate and then did the Czytaj więcej
Skylon Tower @ Night

While Dad & Mom, Eric & Rachel and Nathanael went to the tower, us and Tresia decided to go back to the hotel to change and get jackets for the fireworks. We caught the wrong bus and went 45 minutes Czytaj więcej
Fireworks!

Okay, so after the stress, the wait, and the cold, we were ready for this awesome show. Wrong! It's disappointing to say...but it was a complete dud. The fireworks were small, lasted 3 minutes and Czytaj więcej
