A Little of This and That

We were planning to go shopping at Michaels today but Beth woke up with a stuffy nose and a sore throat. So I took down some cough drops and extra tissue, and she's having some EmergenC. I can hear her laughing at whatever she's watching on TV, so she's feeling 'okay', just not well enough to go out. We'll try again later this weekend. 

I went down to the waterfront earlier this week and got to see some seals! We've lived here for more than twenty years and I've never seen seals close to the shore. There were four of them and they were playing and 'honking' (is that the sound a seal makes?) It was amazing!

We put up a pre-service slide on Sunday letting people know our class is resuming on the 16th. It's really happening!

I'm flying to San Diego next week to see my sister for her birthday. I haven't seen her since July and I'm ready for some good 'ol sister time. She's already called me to see what kind of junk food we want to have. 😊

Niagara Falls

Chuck went to Niagara Falls when he was 15 but Beth and I had never been there. It was cold and raining but really beautiful!

We left the parking lot and walked around the grounds, past the gift shop and Visitor's Center and went down to the Niagara River. 

We followed the river down to the falls and were just amazed by the view! 

The falls on the far right are on the Canada side. I hear the view is better over there but we loved the view from this side!

You could pay a little extra to walk out on a bridge to get a better view but because we were wet and cold, we decided to go back to the Visitor's Center and have some hot chocolate!

We weren't there for a long time, but it was so fun to finally see them! We felt the spray and could certainly hear the power of the falls!
