Bachelor Evening

We had another Bachelor Evening at Giorgio's. They were celebrating their 20th anniversary and had Constantine, Ben and Mickey at the party. Finally got to taste Ben's wine- Evolve. It was tasty!




Mark and Madeline were my escorts. Here is Madeline feeding herself yogurt.




Off to take our picture and see the guys. Ben wanted to hold Madeline in the picture. I said we could try it but I didn't have high hopes...



Here is Ben breaking a heart. He didn't give Madeline a rose.....




Success!!! It was a fun night!






The Word of the Lord

We read Madeline's Children Bible every night before bed. The other day she came down the hall with it. It is so heavy! She did a good job carrying it. I am glad she likes it!




Niagra Falls

Sarah and I headed to Niagra Falls! This has been a trip several years in the making. We had planned to go 3 years ago but couldn't get it to work. The trip was amazing. Our hotel had an awesome view and was within walking distance to everything we wanted to see. We got massages and mud treatments at the spa plus we slept in every morning. It was so relaxing. I missed Mark and Madeline but I know they had fun!
These are the American Falls. We stayed on the Canadian side but could see all the Falls
These are the Canadian Falls. The small boat is the Maid of the Mist, which was really neat.
Can you see the rainbow?

The water leading up to the Falls
The wolves (Sarah's last name is Wolf)
This was the White Water Walk. It is a bit down from the Falls. The water is really calm and then all of a sudden it goes to super dangerous rapids. We were able to get really close and feel the power.

Here is the whirlpool. We took an aerocar on cables above it.


Clifton Street was like Myrtle Beach. It was kind of random to see all that over the top stuff so close to the Falls.
