a busy today has left us all tired and wet. went to Niagara falls first thing this morning. weather was cold and wet so we thought 'how can we make our children more miserable?' now a kind parent or a rookie parent might have found something to do inside out of the cold and rain. mark and i decided to give them all a poncho and stick them on a boat that would take us right up to the falls. since it was cold and wet, there was not many people on the boat with us. this must be a destination for many Asian countries. many were thrilled with Anthony and wanted to take their pictures with him. they even showed the kids a new Polaroid camera that won't be in the u.s. till 2013. do you see the great picture of mark and i. i think i may be drugged or drunk. so much in my life makes since now. i think this would be great as my face book picture. or maybe another Christmas card. it's too good to keep to myself. after lunch we all went back to the trailer to get dry. found out our alarm on the TV was beeping on the outdoor speaker for 2 hours. good to know we can irritated people in multiple states. decided to go on a scenic drive with mark as navigator. so of course we are immediately lost. thank god for GPS. found a great place called the freedom crossing. there is even a web cam that has live feed 24/7. so all who were watching could have seen Noah take a slide face first down a wet muddy hill.(still laughing at the memory.) took ourselves along the coast of Ontario lake. it was so big, but is one of the smallest great lakes. it does have a depth of 800 feet. it was cool to see Canada so close. while driving around we found this tiny graveyard in the middle of a corn field. of course we had to stop. mark and most of the kids(Noah was still sore from his fall[hahaha]) on a run through the cornfield while i walked around the tombstones. the oldest we found was from 1823. very cool.finally made it back to our mini home. a bit damp from all the rain, and tired. leaving around 11 to do a straight  drive to Maryland. hope to get there late tomorrow night. hoping our weather improves.
