Niagra Falls

Each fall, Jeff and Jed take a trip to see an NFL and MLB
game. This year was to Buffalo and Toronto, so Kate and I
came along too. 

We spent Saturday in Toronto. While the guys were

at the Blue Jays vs. Yankees game, the ladies found

a great spot by the water.

We found some crepes too!

On Saturday night, we drove to Niagra Falls.
Our hotel room had an incredible view. Thanks
for the surprise boys! We couldn't believe it!

Can you believe this view from our room?!
"American Falls"

In the morning, we walked down to the lookout point
before we headed stateside to Buffalo.

Science Fun

We took YiaYia and Pop-Pop to the Science Center.
YiaYia helped them in a class about bases & acids.
It was a fun experiment!

Pull, Katelyn, Pull!

Katelyn's favorite part...any computer activity.

Yikes! A T-Rex has Josh!

And Josh's favorite part...

...the bottle rocket!

Pop-Pop joined in the fun too!

Soccer Time

Josh is playing on his first official rec league U6 soccer team. He has a bunch of buddies on the team and Jeff is helping to coach. Josh said that his favorite part of soccer is "having fun." So...we're doing something right!

It's not so easy keeping the bench focused, sitting in
one place and cheering for their teammates!
Josh is number 9. 

 

Josh and Parker "focused" on defense. 

Scavenger Hunt Hike

We went for a hike on the NCR trail and made a list of
things we thought we might find. The only things we
didn't get to check off were the bear and deer. :)
And we did see a lot of things that weren't on the
list that we will look for next time. We will definitely be
doing this activity again!

Beach August 2012

Aunt Jodi, Natalie, Josie, Jack and Danny joined us for a two days. The cousins loved being together and we were able to have two days on the sand together. Josie and Katelyn stuck together most of the time. And  the twins kept everyone entertained! Keeping with tradition, we hit the boardwalk for Manco & Manco pizza and Kohr's Custard for dessert!

Enjoy these photos from our time together!

First Day of School

Josh starts Pre-K!
He was very ready for school to start!

Katelyn and Macy are in the Beary Special 3's class.
They are always happy to be together!

Katelyn was very excited about the new little bear (in
her left hand) she received from her teachers.
The way to Katelyn's heart is through animals!

Last Birthday Celebration

Josh was fortunate enough to have about two weeks of birthday celebrations. When we got home from vacation, we had one last birthday party with Kate, Jed, Stacey, Greg and Nan. Kate and Jed asked Josh what food he likes. He told them crabs, steak and chicken - it was quite the feast! And with a football ice cream cake too - it was awesome! Thank you for being such great friends!!! Josh is well-loved!
