Our first stop was my Aunt Diane's house. It is always our first stop and we are always excited to be there.
Aunt Diane always has fun things to do. There were fun whistling arrows for the boys to shoot AND they made their own ice cream in this ball. After the ice cream ingredients were put in the boys were charged with rolling the ball around without stopping for 10 minutes. They had tons of fun.
After we got to my grandparents we did a ton of stuff. I kept forgetting my camera. I'm sure there are pictures floating around somewhere. We went to the Herschell Carrousel Factory. This museum was pretty neat. We were able to see the process that went into building a carousel and carving the horses. It is actually pretty sad if you think about the fact that people don't work with their hands like this as much anymore. Everything is mass produced. After walking through the museum the boys were able to ride on a few older carousel type rides. They had a wonderful time.
It wouldn't be a true visit with Grandma if there weren't marshmallow shooters involved. The boys, and Fritz, has a blast with these.
Anders had a hard time getting his marshmallows to shoot out. He huffed and puffed, but nothing. But that didn't stop this little warrior. He eventually figured it out. I'm just glad he didn't start bashing his brothers over the head with the shooter.
This kept them occupied for hours and Fritz had a great snack.
We also got to go on the Maid of the Mist. I haven't been since I was a kid.
All ready to get wet.
The falls were beautiful. These are the American Falls.
This part of the horseshoe here is part of the Canadian Falls.
We survived and managed to only get our shoes wet.
The day before we had to come home we all (aunts, uncles, and cousins) had a gathering at my Uncle Mark and Aunt Anne's house. Or, as the boys like to call him, Uncle Whitey.
The boys really got into the Can Jam game.
We had good food, games, and laughs.
