It took way too long to get her a Big Girl Bed.  But now she has it.  And likes it.  And sleeps upside down on it.  Or sideways.  Or just right.  Or on the floor next to it.  Isn’t she sweet?

(Don’t worry… she’ll go cold turkey on the “Beah” (a/k/a pacifier) on June 1st.)

And thankfully, no one got wet.

A few years ago, God saw fit to move two cool families a few miles from one another.  We enjoy a lot of play-around-in-the-yard days with one another… and we REALLY enjoy our outings.

Today was an outing.  WE headed out as early as these two particular groups can GET out… 8:30A.M. to go to the Aquarium of Niagara.  It was a great time.  The trainer even came out to meet us personally and answer a barrage of questions. 

We enjoyed a few sea lion shows…

Watched them feed sharks.

Check out a tidal pool.

Poison Dart Frogs? 

Watched them feed harbor seals, and had a ton of our questions answered.
 

Are YOU as tall as an Emperor penguin?  Or a shark?

Lunch.

We walked over toward the Niagara Gorge, but construction kept us from seeing much. 
So instead we drove over to the American Falls. 
Wow. 
I am so glad we did.
Did I mention, WOW?

I haven’t been to the American Falls since I was a BABY.  I have, for most of my life, regarded the Falls from the Canadian side.  I had no idea how close you could get on the U.S. side.  Sure, it cost us $10 just to park our car… but that worked out to $1 a person, and we surely got our money’s worth.

I’m thanking God for SUCH a good day.  And some fun friends to share it with!! 

Here is a link to our trip in 2009!
Stewart has the same coat on… FOUR summers later!  ‘09, ‘10, ‘11, ‘12!  Get out!
