These colorful jelly beans were outside of the theater of the last place we went at Niagara Falls where we watched a movie about some legends related to this wonder of the world.
All of my vacation photos are in reverse, by the way. I took a couple hundred pictures just while at Niagara Falls State Park. In this post, every photo was taken there. Part two (my post that I wrote prior to this) has several more from Niagara Falls. My overall impression was that the falls were stunningly breathtaking, and I kept pondering over how many lives must have been in peril back in earlier days when they might not have realized they were there. On our tram tour, we passed a point called "the point of no return" and heard about situations where some lives were lost. We also heard of a a few very lucky survivors.
Can you tell who was a bit sleep deprived?


Kelly and Lindsey and I took HUNDREDS of pictures on this trip. Theirs are SO much better than mine.









I took this picture for my three sister, Tracy, Valerie, and Julie. But wait, where's my island? I just will have to visit yours.
Here's a cute little picture of me in kindergarten, 1968. All my life, I've never forgotten this shot below in first grade (1969) when the photog asked me to say "peaches" and he snapped the shot at the "ch" sound. If you're trying to get a kid to smile, don't tell them to say peaches. It's scarred me for life. Mom, what the heck happened to my hair? Did I fix it myself? After all, I was in second grade and very capable. My grandma crocheted that groovy vest for me, but who is responsible for the hack job on my hair? Hello, 1970! Who knows where my third grade picture is. We moved so often, changing schools, that I might have missed picture day. Next is my fourth grade mug shot. I must have sworn off bangs by then. Thank goodness for those plastic barrettes to deal with the in-between length. Notice how every year I wore green? Yeah, it's been my favorite color for as long as I can remember. I don't have an actual school pic of me in f...

I love the photos, I think that you have such a cute family, and I love that you do such fun things together, although from the looks on Christopher's face in some of those pictures you would think that he was just dragging along some days. How funny is that.
Isn't that what vacations are for, to stay up too late and do the things that you don't normally get to do? So glad that you had a good time.
