Palmyra and Niagara

So a lot had been going on at our home and away from...Lilly turned the big "4" August 2nd. She is so thrilled to finally be 4 and going to start pre-K. She's only been asking if she's 4 yet since before the last school year let out. What a big girl she is and we sure do love her.
This is us leave Canada and coming back into the good old US of A!
Lilly woke up at our hotel room and started running around yelling that she was "4" now!!!
Just having some fun at the hotel pool the night before we headed home.
Check out the beautiful rainbow behind us. We had the most perfect weather that weekend. It was sandwiched between rain on the way up and rain as we drove out...Niagara Falls Canada side.
Dad sporting a cute flower sunhat that Lilly loaned him for the tunnel.
All we could say was "WOW, how cool"!!!
Our camera survived the Maid of the Mist, but had some left over water on the lens.
We all agree that the "Maid of the Mist" was our most favorite part.
Push PLAY and watch what it was like being on the boat right up to the falls... This is the boat that we all would load up on and go right up to, almost in, the falls. Theses are the American falls on the USA side. Standing in line to go down to the falls... The worst restaurant in town... horrible service and horrible food. And they call themselves "world famouse". Well I can tell ya what they're "famouse" for in our book...Vinnies... This was the printing store where the "Book of Mormon"was first printed. T he black ink on the wall behind the kids is the original from back in that day... The temple Joseph Smith's family second home they build on their farm. Very nice.
The sacrad grove was very neat to be in and the kids were in awe the whole time...trying guess the place where Joseph would've knelt to have the 1st vision. This we the first home the Smith's built and lived in on the farm. Also where the angel Moroni came to Joseph three times in one night while five other boys selpt in the same room and his two sisters slept only a room away... The room where the angel came to visit Joseph. The Hill Cumorah Getting into the hotel the first night after midnight and all very tired.
