Time to Start Blogging

After resisting this for a long time, I think this may be one of the easier ways to share pictures with family and friends. Not perfect, but perhaps better than attaching 10 pictures to each email we send out.



In the last week we have visited the Toronto Zoo, St. Jacob's (Amish Community), and Niagara Falls. The zoo was nice, we kind of think that the one in NC is better, but don't tell anyone here that...they kind of get self conscious if you suggest that something in the US is better than it is here in Canada.



St. Jacob's was wonderful! The petting zoo was a big hit, as was the ice cream stand, the candy stand, the donut stand...you get the point.



And Niagara Falls may have been the best. Preston loved going on the Maid of the Mist (at least after he understood that we wouldn't be swallowed up by the waterfall). Spencer and him thought the mist was great and being on the boat was just about the most exciting thing they had ever done. There was a beautiful park that followed the edge of the look-out areas and we walked back that was through all the blooming flowers. - Garett

So tired after church that he can't even finish his cookie.

Sometimes it is hard to tell who is the real pig in our house.

Salta went on the Maid of the Mist with us....hidden of course and may be one of the few dogs in history to do so.

We love our Mommy on Mother's Day and every other day of the year.

I like your blog. I actually think it's a lot nicer to blog than write emails because you can write small things when ever you feel like it and you're posting one or two pictures at once rather than 10. But it looks like you're really taking advantage of your time up there. Looks like fun! See you soon.

Great blog. I love the Jackson photos. The best-est has to be the picture out by the tulip bed. But they are all good. Let's see more photos of Dad, Garett, next time. Thanks for the SMILES!
