Niagara Falls

A fun two-day trip to Niagara Falls!

Such an incredible sight!

We took a short cut back to our hotel which required carrying the stroller:)

Little legs needed a break from walking.

A ride on The Hornblower into the mist of the Falls.

A night view up close.

The kids thought the colors were pretty neat.

We figured a vacation isn't a vacation without some ice cream, so after eating a platter of 50 wings at 

Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY(the site of the original buffalo wings) 

we headed to Anderson's Frozen Custard.  

We went home with full bellies and fun memories!

The kids traveled well with the help of audio books, movies, books and naps!

Celebrating Kaia's 5th Birthday!

Grandma Pat came for a visit the week Kaia turned five years old!  

We enjoyed a special birthday meal of 

grilled pork tenderloin, mashed potatoes, and peas!  

The birthday cake was Treatzza Pizza from Dairy Queen...Yum!

Presents!!

The day Grandma Pat flew home, Grandma Dodie & Grandpa Jeff arrived by car to help us celebrate the birthday girl with another party!  We enjoyed the cooler Fall temperatures with an outdoor Frozen themed party, complete with Pin the Tail on Olaf and an Anna & Elsa piñata!  

Kaia is blessed to have such loving grandparents and kind friends to help her celebrate turning five!

Until now Kaia has been content to use her Cinderella dress as her "Elsa dress", 

but now she has the whole outfit complete with light up heals and a crown!
