O Canada!

The children and I took a trip to Canada recently and had a great time. We met my parents and drove to Palmyra, New York where we saw some Church History sites and the Hill Cumorah Pagent. Ethan particularly enjoyed it and remarked a few times, "I can't believe I'm really here!" We drove up to Canada then and stopped at Niagara Falls. It was the first time the kiddies had been. We went behind the falls--that's when we're wearing our yellow rain ponchos! We also spent a great day at Wasaga Beach. The waves were great that day. We went to African Lion Safari and Jane has been talking about rhinos ever since. You take a bus tour (or your own car if you don't mind it being picked apart by monkeys) through 6 different wildlife sanctuaries, so you're actually driving right past the animals! It was really good. Then we saw a great (but sad) elephant show and spent a good part of the afternoon at the water park. Another great day. We visited a great playground close to Grandma's house. And I really enjoyed eating Canadian KitKats. When we got home it was time to pack, pack, pack for our move--so the children would "picnic" at their little red table w/ their plastic plates and forks, since everything else was packed. The goggles are a nice touch, yes?
