Niagara-on-the-Lake

Mom wanted to take a little trip to the lovely town of Niagara-on-the-Lake before she heads home later this week and I actually felt up to it today! Woohoo!!! We took the older three children with us and had a fun time. The weather was perfect!

Fort Niagara in Youngstown, NY, just across the Niagara River...

The vineyards were lush and green...

And we got stuck in a line of traffic waiting for this big guy (a barge)...

Here is the bridge with the barge just about to make the pass...

We stopped at one of the many fruit stands for some yummy peaches...

and apples...

Bob graciously stayed home with the little girls today since I cannot lift anything (or more importantly, anyone) for a few more weeks. They had a big day, too. They went to the park, the bank, Subway, the bookstore (for Ava to spend a gift certificate she had won last weekend at our local street festival), the cupcake shop, and the library. Whew! What an amazing husband and daddy!!!

And here is Emma reading one of Ava's new books to her after we returned home...

Blessings!
