Our Early Mother's Day "Trip"

WOW!!!!!!! I have no word to describe how blessed we are. The Lord has provided for us for sure this week. (as usual...don't know why we would ever think otherwise). we were able to take the girls to the Niagara Aquarium, and to see the Falls. Gracie, still, had never been. "waterfall!!" I wanted to do something, just the four of us for Mother's Day. and we are going out with my family on Sunday, so i wanted to do it when Jordan was off this past Tuesday. we were thinking about the Museum of play in Rochester, but we decided to stay closer to home. Gracie had sooooooo much fun. It was beautiful to watch her with Jordan, while he explained different things to her; the names of different fish, and what they eat. But the best was hearing her say the word "anemone".

Grace and Daddy, watching the Sea lion show

...Such curiosity

Mckenzie, getting a little look at the "underwater world"

Daddy took her for a minute to give her a better view.

Mckenzie and i got to hang back a little bit. I had her in a carrier on me the whole time, and i think that she loved the uninterrupted mommy time. She and i, at one point, just sat down on a big, fake rock that they have next to the HUGE sea loin tank. I fed her right there, while The sea lions made Grace laughed so hard, b/c they liked to show off for her. They would swim right at her, and when they got w/in inches of the glass they would turn to the side, and swim off. When we first walked in, they were in the middle of the sea show, and we all enjoyed those funny guys balancing the balls, and doing flips and things for the trainer. While we were downstairs looking into the tank, one of the sea lions started playing with a small orange traffic cone. He would use his nose to bring it up to the surface of the water, and he would let it go so that he cold go get it, and play his little game all over again. But whenever he would let it go, Gracie would say "uh-oh, he drop it", and when he retrieved it once again, she would react with "good job, shark".

After we left the aquarium, we headed down to the falls. "WOW, bathtub....I swimmin' ", and as we drove along the Niagara river to find a parking space she said "oooo, bubbles...I go tubby". So funny.We stayed there for a little bit, but both of the girls were starting to fall asleep in our arms so we headed home.

Funny faces, in new places!!

** What a WONDERFUL Mother's Day **
