Saturday we were lucky enough to spend the day out travelling around with Stan and Shirley. We went into the USA to Target and the Outlet mall and the kids were able to pick up their 'one new school thing'. Sterling chose a new bunny hug and Kaedo of course picked shoes. Kaedo stocked up at Target with all the candy and gum he likes and we stopped at Wal-Mart and bought 8 boxes of his favorite cereal. We came back into Canada and went to Niagara Falls. Stan and Shirley had been once before in 2004 but the Falls were still partially iced over. This time they got to see them in all their glory, and as you can tell from the photos, the rainbows were plentiful. I took 38 pictures of the Falls but these are my favorite - save for one which I will post on our anniversary on Friday.We left at 9am and thanks to the kindness of our neighbors, we were able to leave Ketchup at home all day and didn't come back home until 10pm. It was a fantastic day and Shirley was quick to point out that they would never have gone into the USA without us so they were thrilled to check out our favorite USA places - YAY Target!
I can't believe it has been 8 years since my first visit to the Falls. I am still as in awe of them as I was on my first visit. If you have never been, you must place them on your bucket list. Awe-inspiring!

Love your T shirt Kaedo. It suits who you are.
Glad you got to pick up your favorite things while you were in the US. We'll probably cross tomorrow at Osooyos as we need the fat free mayo that you can't buy here. We're almost out of it. Years ago we crossed at Osooyos by boat and inadvertently reached shore and entered without going through customs. We didn't realize it at the time but we'd sure never do that again. Probably be sent to Gitmo if you did it now.
The photos are great, you really have a knack, Shannon, unfortunately you're not in too many of them. Have a wonderful time on the rest of your holiday with Stan and Shirley.
Love to all
