Niagara

First of all I have been working a lot (Yipee!) I did not get our anniversary of the days around it off so there is no post for the big # 4. Smitty did get me some yellow gerber daisies and we went to dinner at Outback with all the senior citizens. It was nice to spend time together but I was tired. We decided that we will either go to Toronto for a baseball game or Gettysburg next week to make up for our lame anniversary.

We got a phone call yesterday after church that Smitty's Aunt Leann & Uncle Garner, and cousins Becca, Marianne and cousin-in-law Erin were going to Niagara Falls. So what did we do? Thru a couple of sandwiches and yogurts in the back seat a drove to Niagara to meet up. We both got a little lost getting to the Canadian side but it was worth it. The falls are much grander looking from there. We also got to ride the Maid of the Mist and get drenched.

We are so lucky to have such great family!

which one would you pick

My computer is about to die and I forgot my power cord at home. Along with moving this week we are also dog/ house sitting. I just wanted to get a couple pictures up of our new digs.

we did a quick three day trip up to my grandparents to see them, my parents and my sister. My brother couldn't make it because he is getting his jump wings in Colorado Springs, CO (crazy person!) My mom is known by most for her crazy adventures. That's actually the first thing Chris asked when we went to lunch.

We decided to so the the Japanese interment camp memorial, mammoth cave and the shoshone ice caves. No pics of the internment camp sorry. The mammoth cave was to most entertaining for sure. The guy who owned the property the the lava tube was on had created this crazy huge taxidermy museum to walk thru. He also carved all these stones to look like heads. He had about a dozen peacocks and four or five emus running around. I felt a little creeped out at this place. I kept thinking about texas chainsaw- it was just that creepy. Of course no one knew what I was talking about because no one has seen it. Bad Ashlee.

The shoshone ice cave was really cool. literally. it was to dark to take pictures but my mom tried. we also had a couple of party poopers who would not stop whining about the camera (any guesses?)

I love going to my grandparents. They are always up for anything. They have these great views from their house and a huge back yard. I was able to wander my grandpa's veggies gardens with him and play frisbee with smitty, hannah and grandma.
