We had the privilege of meeting my Uncle Bob, Aunt Janice, Grandma Kurtz, Cousin Renay and husband Paul and little baby Madeline in Niagara Falls this weekend for a wonderful Mother's Day get together. Saturday at the Falls was spectacular -- we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day. It was sunny, the perfect temperature, and hardly a cloud in the sky.
At first, I was a little anxious about driving all the way into Canada with just myself and the kids for the very first time and not having passports. The drive up was beautiful though -- we took a short cut that went along some rural highways and through a lot of beautiful country. It only took us about 3 1/2 hours door to door. Getting through customs was pretty simple really. She took my ID, our birth certificates, asked me a few questions, and we were on our way.
When we parked close to the Falls to meet up with everyone, I soon realized that I had to exchange some currency to pay for parking! It was the first time I've ever done anything like that and I found out that Canadian money is much cooler looking than U.S. money -- at least, in my opinion.;-)
The entire weekend was a feast for the eyes with all we saw. The tulips and flowering trees were in full bloom and you wouldn't believe the colors. Amazing! We also visited the very quaint town of Niagara-on-the-Lake and that place was amazing too.
It was wonderful to spend time with family seeing all of those sights for the first time and I feel blessed that we were able to do that. A ton of thanks goes to my wonderful Uncle Bob and Aunt Janice for their generosity and kindness this weekend.
Here's a slideshow of some of the pictures!!
