Niagara Falls

We went to Niagara Falls in May. Here are more photos from the trip. If you start at the bottom and work your way back up, you will see the pictures in order.

Our last stop before heading home. The water behind us is rushing towards the falls.

Annelise enjoyed the field of flowers as much as anything else.

Cave of the Winds- walking around the base of the falls, lots of spray and cold water running over our feet.

Caleb is smiling because he is no longer in the spray from the waterfall (river going away from falls)

A Vacation Story

Spring Stuff

Back to some kids and family photos. The spring time brings the business of fun.

a rattle snake John ran up on during a run

Annelise "reads" If You Give a Mouse a Cookie to Caleb all the time

Annelise and John climbing together

" Mmm, smell goot"

Maybe he fell asleep while climbing into bed

In Mama and Daddy's bed

This was the first time Annelise had seen this book and she did this all by herself while I was cooking. I didn't even tell her the directions. I didn't know what she was doing until she was finished. (sorry to brag...proud mama)

In the "blood water" as Annelise calls it

The cause of the "blood water". Funny little mustache she has, huh?

Caleb thinks outside of the box...and outside of the paper

Caleb wiped out at the end of a fun Easter day with church family

My sister Amy and her boyfriend Bryan visit--eating on the parkway...very windy

Annelise and her new friends. 2 nice boys that are the same age as her and Caleb. She is going cruising with Samuel.
