Wednesday

UpToday we drove to sesame place. Smooth ride getting there. (Other than a semi who tried to kill us). There was some thunderstorms when we hi there so it cleared out and there were no lines. It never got warm.but we had a great time. 

Now we are in Lancaster, PA aka Amish country. 

We have a very nice place. There are seriously horses and buggies all over! They do have lights and turn signals. 

More fun

With not much planned we decided to go to Gillette castle. This is a cool old place. 

Then lots more time in the lake. 

CT lake house

Sunday it rained but no big problem. We went to church and came home and played some games. We enjoyed spending time with Mimi, grumpy, Lex, Michelle, Grammy and aunt Diana. We played some minute to win it games in the afternoon. Aunt Diana made some awesome authentic tamales for dinner. 

Minute to win it!

We did have a campfire but it was short because of the rain. 

Monday we went back to gram McHugh's house. I still had some things in storage from growing up so we picked those things up. Then we visited Grampy's grave. We celebrated Maggie's birthday (a little early) and my friend James from new York came to visit with his wife and son. All of the kids played in the water. I cannot believe how much kayaking our boys gave done!

A few more days

We left Niagara Falls early on Thursday . We crossed the border at buffalo, NY. The kids dipped their toes in the last of the Great Lakes. Lake Erie. 

Then it was on to Letchworth state park. Very nice waterfalls. 

We did some hiking and viewed all 3 waterfalls. Our campground was a few miles away. Friday we stopped at Watkins - Glen state park and looked at more waterfalls! 

 Over 800 stairs but it was a great place to visit! Next on to Wappingers falls, this is where I lived from 1-4th grades. 

 We also visited my good friend Andrew's parents. It is nice to know that you can always just stop in there :). Then on to CT

First we visited gram McHugh. 

 And then on to the lake cabin. The kids have been having a blast canoeing and kayaking (which they have never done before) and playing with Alexis. 

We had a great time yesterday when the Piscitellis came to visit. Gram and aunt Diana are staying at the house with us. We are Having a great time! 

Niagara

We spent a good part of today on the American side. We crossed the border then did the maid of the mist boat excursion.

Lots of fun. Definitely recommend it. Next we ate at Donatellos pizzeria.  Delicious! Then we walked around goat island which is on top of the falls. We stopped at the point that we got engaged fifteen years ago. 

  Afterword we crossed the border again and came back to the cabin for some swimming/playground time eh. For supper we headed up to Niagara on the lake. A small fancy community eh. The kids poked their feet In the water (their 4th Great Lake) eh. 

You can see Toronto across the lake eh!  Supper was ice cream cones. The kids agreed this was the best meal since getting on the road eh. On our 50 km drive back we stopped at the whirlpool. 

We got back to the falls in time to park and see the fireworks. 

All in all pictures can't do Niagara Falls justice day or night eh. 

We have been blessed to have wonderful weather (sunny and upper 70 light wind) for most of the trip ehh. I hope this continues when we go back to 'Merica tomorrow. 

Continuing eastbound.

After a great visit with my friend Andrew (from elementary school) we headed east. Finally had my first DD coffee on the trip. Note to self, don't order coffee in flint , MI. I think there was a problem with the water. Then we crossed the Canadian border eh. Unfortunately we had no cell coverage in Canada. Unfortunately we were using my phone for navigation. Unfortunately there are no roadsihns in Canada (like Niagara Falls that way). Luckily, we still made it hear eh. Checked in at a campground and headed to the falls. Jade some poutine 

 And watched the falls eh.
