lots going on

It's been awhile since I posted. I probably won't even remember all we've done in the last little while! I'll try:
We went to Niagara Falls last month with the kids. It was alot of fun, but keeping the kids quiet in the hotel was not fun at all- especially when they woke up at 5am!
We went to the Fallsview Indoor waterpark two days in a row, the kids loved it. It was raining the second day, which was when we were going to walk over to the falls. So, we decided to drive by and Gavin fell asleep before we got there! And he as the one that was so excited to see them. We ate at the Rainforest Cafe for dinner the first night.



We got a new computer a few weeks ago and I love it!!
I also got braces about 2 weeks ago, they are just starting to not hurt and I am starting to get used to them.
We are planning a trip to Costa Rica at the end of July. I can't wait. The tour that we are interested in includes 7 nights and 11 tours including a Crocodile Safari, a Jungle Skywalk, a Canopy Tour (ziplining through the jungle canopy), kayaking, a trip to a volcanoe, horseback riding and lots of other stuff.

fun day

We went to cut down our Chrsitmas tree yesterday. We got there later than we expected, so we didn't get to do all the activities, but we still had a lot of fun. I would add more pictures, but my computer isn't cooperating. We had a hard time finding a tree this year. Usually there a ALOT to chose from, I think that they were trying to clear out one area as much as they could before moving on to another part of the tree farm. We had to pick from the same area last year and there was a lot more to chose from then! We literally found a tree that was 'just good enough' right when they were about to close! We thought about not even getting one there. I'm sure that next year they will need to open another section. Gavin was very grumpy when we first got there but he was pretty good after he got to go on the pony rides. Why is it that kids never seem to get cold? They don't care whether they've got gloves or a hat on!
I thought that there was a resemblance between Ethan and Owen:

Love this grainy shot:
I love my brother:

I got to play around with my mom's camera, which was fun, but a bit confusing- so excuse my bad use of light...
