Vacationing in Buffalo #1

My parents, my sister and her family and JOhn and I had a wonderful vacation here in Buffalo.
I am going to share the trip in mostly pictures so beware!!

The Guys spent a day enjoying a nice round of golf while the girls took the boys to the buffalo zoo. Here is Caden feeding the giraffe a cracker. The boys of course loved all the animals.

We spent a nice relaxing day at Niagara Falls. Here is a pic John snapped of me, sitting in front of the falls.
Grandma and Grandpa with their grandson Jackson enjoying the falls.
We relaxed in the park in front of the Niagara river and enjoyed the cool breeze and each others company. The boys where having fun. Here is Caden tackling Jackson.
But don't worry, Jackson will get him back!
Jackson and I looking at the Niagara river which leads into the falls.
John is doing so well learning how to take great pics with our new camera, look at this pretty picture of the waterfall.
We took a break from Niagara Falls and enjoyed a picnic, we could not have a picnic without our annual grape toss. Unfortunately, John and I did not win this year.
While at Niagara falls we were able to do the cave of the winds tour where you get soaked, you can actually get dumped on by the water on the american side!
Here is John and Caden at the Cave of the Winds.
We also took a ride on the maid of the mist.

Crystal beach fun!
One day we headed back to Canada and enjoyed our favorite beach. We all loved it, the weather was perfect and the kids loved it! Here they are laughing in the water.
The boys jumped off the pier, and we had a sand castle building contest, my dolphin came in second!

Our dear friend Kristen took a few family portraits.




We showed them a few of our favorite places to eat, including the anchor bar, pancake house, chill n grill, marcos subs, wegmans, Mattina pizza, neadless to say we had plenty to eat!Here is Jackson at the anchor bar.

Of course us girls got away to do some relaxation without the kids and husbands. We went to a new store called Destination Maternity where we spent a lot of time and money, and then off to enjoy a pedicure and manicure!

We were also able to join lots of others at the Hill Cumorah to view all the historic sites and see the pagenant. Here are the boys at the top of the Hill, a great big brother hug!

If you have been paying close attendion in the few pictures John has been in, you might have noticed a slight change.The new diagnosis is. . . . .Bells Palsy. John discovered this surprising diagnosis a few weeks ago, don't worry it is already getting better. Here he is after an urgent care visit, an ER visit, and a CAT scan.

And last but not least, while my family was in, I brought my mom and dad in with me for my ultrasound, they got to see little baby Taylor, the ultrasound tech, even gave us some 3D shots of baby!!


We had a great time being with Family! Thanks so much for coming to visit us!

Hey Sarah my name is Brittney and I actually knew John a long time ago but I have been checking out your blog every once and a while and I just looked at it and see that John has Bells Palsy. Isnt it weird how it just comes on? My sister actually got it about a yr and a half ago and her eye was even really bad. It would never blink and even going to sleep it wouldnt close. It was pretty bad. But it had completely gone away in just 2 or 3 months. We had heard it never goes away. But it did. So hopefully it goes away for him. I hope its ok that I am commenting. If you would like my blog is rockinandarollindbb.blogspot.com if you want to check it out:)
