A Quick Trip.

Tuesday Morning we flew to Niagara Falls with

Mike & Janice. We spent the night tues. and flew

home Wed. evening. We had a great time!

Here we go!

When we arrived we drove to Niagara on the lake a beautiful

area, lots of vineyards. (Must be gorgeous in the summer.)

We had lunch at Hillebrand and then enjoyed a neat tour.

The falls were an amazingly COLD sight!

Mike & Janice were from this area so it was fun to be with

them. Great tour guides. Tues. night we went to their favorite

restaurant - Zest, the main purpose of our trip. Wow was

it amazing! Thanks guys- next week same place, same time?

I snapped a picture of this bag lady we saw.

A GREAT TIME!

but we were all ready to head home & see the kiddos.

Weekend with the Zals

Friday night after Bre's snowboard lesson we headed to

New York to spend the weekend with Dave, Sandy &

Sawyer Zal. A really fun weekend - Thanks Guys!!!

watch some stuff being made - YUMMY!!!!

Fun with puzzles!

Happy Valentines Day!

On Valentines Day I went to Breanna's school to help out

with her class Valentine Party - Ice cream sundays. Lots of fun!

The next day (fri.) I was going into Braden's school to help

out with his ice cream Valentine party, but I decided that

it would be a little bit funner to sit in the dentist chair - YUCK!

Breanna's class made these really cute mail boxes.

Happy Valentines Day !

The kids wrapped up these books for us - pretty cute!
