less than 20 days remaining...

PRAISE GOD! I need a break from my dahlings *SO* stinkin' bad!! :deep loud sigh:

I love my children however I think I'd love them even MORE if they'd both sleep all night in their OWN beds!

ok, rant over :P

So Saturday Steve and I met up with our friends Lynn & Sherri (and her dh Gary) in Niagara Falls, ON. We had great weather... not too hot and not too cold. I have a mitt full of pictures but I'll just share a couple :)
We took the "Journey behind the Falls". I've only done it once before and I get this incredibly difficult to explain feeling in my entire body- {ever lick a 9-volt battery?} that is a comparable feeling of my whole body --WEIRD! Sort of felt implodish!

So then we also went up the cable car incline thingy -and attempted to eat at T.G.I Fridays -this is a more popular place in the US than here, but with location of Niagara Falls being SO close to the border I guess it makes sense for our American friends to come over to CANADA and want to eat the same as they could at 'home'... {yes I'm being sarcastic!} ANYWAY... it was absolutely insanely expensive - the drink menu advertised $15.99. I was like for.....? what? an aquarium size glass I hope! that was just for a cocktail. >GULP!< A hamburger and fries was nearly $15!!! Of course you'd figure Steak to cost a bit more how bout $40!!!! I want a piece of the cow not the whole dang thing~!! wow... needless to say we left :P We wondered down to the casino and found out that the 'all you can eat for $20' was IN the casino :( we had Ally with us and Steve and I couldn't go in. We offered for the others to go ahead and we'd eat at the little cafe/restaraunt in the lobby, they wouldn't so we ALL ate at the Famous. It was REALLY yummy. And wouldn't ya have it we ALL ordered the same thing LoL :D Burger and fries.

We then continued on our way to Cliffton Hill -it's the carnival-like dragstrip of Niagara Falls. In my opinion it really should just be for walking only but it's not. There was a *cRaZy* guy walking behind us for a while... talking away and we thought he was with someone... turned out he wasn't! --Lynn said she was sure that he was threatening her and Sherri... {in MY opinion, if you have issues with crowds/people.... DO NOT go to Niagara FALLs!} d'uh!!!

so once we got to the duty free store we parted ways. Sherri, Gary and Lynn walked over the bridge and so then had to walk back to the US side. We got to see the falls lit up... VERY difficult to capture on camera -but of course I tried.

Ally fell asleep before we even found the highway to come back home. Dawson had spent the day with my dad and wouldn't ya know it wanted to come home! -of course that would happen :eyeRoll: he didn't tho', we didn't get home until 10'ish...

so I'll see about some pictures :D I'll post them seperately I hate the way they get stuck into the top portion of the post...

We didn't get to do as much cool stuff when we were there. I wanted to but we were only at the Falls for an afternoon. I want to go back though!!
