So last week was both kids first plane rides and I will never take a red eye again. Grandpa was trying to get me to check the car sears and the strollers to make it easier to go thru security. Made him a little upset when refused, but I reminded him he wasn't planning on carrying any kids plus the small luggage store I had to carry. II was not about to give up my wheels. Plus if either of those car seats got lost, I sure didn't want to go buy a new one. We made it in one piece after a very exhausting night with only 3 hours if sleep.
Niagara Falls was fun, and yes honey, we did go to the Canada side. I was threatened bodily harm if we didn't go to Canada after the pain of getting passports. Stevie really loved the water and the falls were beautiful.
Saturday we watched my beautiful cousin Emily marry Zack. It was a fun time and got to see a lot of family. As soon as the reception was over, it started to downpour. We got stuck under the tent. After 15 minutes of that rain, the groom and his buddies turned the backyard into a slip-n-slide. What was great is Stevie deciding to join them. That poor kid got soaked, but he had such a good time.
Monday was grazing at Grandma's. I got to see Kala since she was home on her deployment. The only people we missed this fun filled weekend were my husband and brothers. It was so nice that we got to see everyone else.
Tuesday was on our way to Pennsylvania. Before we left we had one more stop to make with the kids. One of my memories growing up was when we'd visit Grams for the summer, we always went fruit picking. Mostly berries, but I do remember doing peaches once. We took the kids strawberry picking. Stevie had a great time and kept taking a bite out of one then putting in his bucket. We had quite a few half eating strawberries. And just to make Grams happy, I let Abbie go to town on a strawberry. Boy, that girl can eat and she did love it.
