Things to blog about 101



There are so many good blogs out there and I read a lot of them. I wish I was a good writer/blogger. I'm really not, but I do like to blog. So what do you write about when there's nothing creative or profound to say? Spring break will do...



The kids actually had a reasonable spring break this year. Last year they were making up snow days so they only had one day off. This year they had almost a whole week! Yay! I ended up taking the kids to Niagara Falls. Roger had to go to Salt Lake, but I didn't want to stay home the entire break so off we went. We stayed in Buffalo, NY they went on to the Falls the following day. This was our score of a hotel. There was an indoor pool in a courtyard of sorts that two floors of hotel rooms looked out upon. It was perfect because we didn't have time to swim again in the morning but Luke was satisfied watching other people swim while I packed up.




I wanted to go to Niagara Falls to ride the Maid of the Mist, but alas it was not to be. I had no idea until we arrived that the boat doesn't start sailing until Memorial Day. I'm not an idiot, I checked the website and everything and it didn't say anywhere that it was still closed. It was probably better anyway because it was freezing. That wind was a blowin' and we were cold!





Not the best of pictures, but I had to prove Liam (under the blanket) and I were there too!






See all that white stuff in the bottom right corner? Ice. Awesome huh? Nothing like upstate New York for spring break!

Wow!!! I knew you went to New York, but I didn't know you took the kids by yourself! You are CRAZY (and by that I really mean amazing).

You're a superhero. Way to not let a little thing like not having a husband around at that moment stop you from having some fun! That kind of attitude is my new goal in life.
