Friends Forever

I had to include these pictures of Stefan and his best friend.  Sadly, Aiden his best buddy is moving this summer.  I have never seen two boys play so well together.  Amy and I would often say that it was so much easier when the two of them were playing as we just never saw them.  They would be together for hours and never even have a single fight.  Truly best friends.

These two were meant to be friends and I am sure that even with the move they will always be friends as will the moms. ;)

Exploring Around Niagra Falls

This was our last day in Ontario.  So we did some exploring around Niagara Falls.  We drove down to see the loch system that they have connecting the great lakes.  Jamie and I never need a reason to kiss but we couldn't miss this opportunity at the "kissing rock"  LOL

We did some museum visits but as usual our boys were more interested in the exploring aspect.

Planking on the large wheel.

Darien even tried.  LOL

But Keagan still managed to out plank him.  LOL

Then it was time for some mini golf.

Which was fun for about the first 10 min.  LOL  Then the competition got to be a little much

The adult group enjoyed it and still kept score.

But in the end the dinosaurs won and the boys just had fun shooting the balls. LOL  No Tiger Woods in our family.  LOL

This was our final stop before heading to the airport.  This is were all the water from the falls make into a whirlpool.  Not some where I would want to get stuck.  I can honestly say this was another amazing summer spend with my boys.  This was our final summer for Jamie to have the whole time off.  I am so thankful for his job that has given us this opportunity to be with our boys and make these fabulous memories.  Next summer we will have to be a little bit more creative when it come to our plans as we won't be getting 9 weeks together.  LOL

Niagara Falls

Our time was over in the USA so it was back to Canada we went.  We were able to spend a couple of days in Niagara Falls.  For some of the boys this was their first time seeing these amazing falls.  I must admit it was a little nerve racking having all those boys so near that water but we managed to stay safe.  LOL  As you can see Darien was holding on to everyone to keep them safe.  :)

I had a hard time picking pictures to put up as there were some amazing ones to choose from.

This was my moms first time seeing the falls.  Another check on her bucket list.  ;)

We were able to hang out with Jamie's Aunt Pat and Uncle Paul.

My Ry guy.

At the falls.

Keagan was a little nervous and wasn't too keen on getting too close to the railing.

Every time I see these falls it amazes me.

Me and my mom.  I am so thankful that my mom is able to come with us on these trips to see so many amazing things.

Stefan was getting a little tired.

Planking at Niagara Falls

Our Group.

We managed to stay long enough to see the falls lit up.

It was a beautiful way to spend the day.  Father and son deep in thought.  Love my boys.

Canyon Candle Factory Our Last Day :(

This was our last day with our best friends.  We were able to go out the #2 attraction of New England and that was the Cannon Candle Factory.  Wow is all I can really say.  This place was huge and there was so much to see.

I wasn't sure how much fun it would be for the boys but they actually really enjoyed it.

Rylan had to have his picture taken with every big stuffy he saw.  LOL

The animal tamer.

The children really enjoyed being able to make their own candles and even pick out some of the amazing candles for themselves.

This was a great way to end an amazing part of our trip.

Keagan was so happy because on our way back to Hartford we were able to stop at the Basketball Hall of Fame.

Here you have one happy basketball fan.

I am so thankful that he has something that he loves and sets him apart from his brothers.  Each of my boys are so unique an individual and it is great to see them succeed in something.

Thank you to Dave and Joylanne for taking on our family of 7 (including my mom) for a full week.  You guys are super stars and we are so thankful for your amazing friendship.  We miss you terribly but are thankful that we have been able to keep in contact and to make some great memories with your family.

Cape Cod

We were very lucky to be able to stay over night in Plymouth and then the next day we decide to explore Cape Cod.  I have always dreamed of coming here and here we are.  It wasn't the best day in the way  weather.  In fact it was pretty cold and even a little windy.  We hadn't really planned for cooler weather so we had to stop and get some cheap sweaters for the kids.  LOL

Dispite the weather we still managed to enjoy or time.  It was crazy windy and the waves were insanely high but the kids played in the sand and surf.

Ah the boys.  Poor Jolayne wouldn't have worn a dress had she know how windy it would be lol.

I love this picture of my mom.  She could have sat here all day reading a book and as long as she is warm she will sit at the sea shore forever.  :)

Me and the love of my life.  I am so thankful for all the wonderful memories we are making.

The boys couldn't resist playing in the sand dunes,

or the waves.  It was so much fun to watch them.  The waves were so crazy that the life guards were only letting people in up the their knees.  But that was enough fun for our kids/adults trying to jump the waves as they came crashing in.

I can never resist taking pictures of my boys.  One day they will all be big and grown and I will be thankful I have so many pictures.  LOL

Darien

Keagan

Rylan

See here is the proof.  She was in her element.  Love you mom.

This is just how I pictured Cape Cod.  It was so beautiful.

One day we will go back and do some more exploring.  One day was just not enough.  I would totally rent bikes and explore the whole cape.  :)

Falmouth/Plymouth Massachusetts

This was one of day/overnight adventures we went on while in Connecticut.  We made out way out to the coast to see some of New Englands Beauty.  Boy did it get hot while we were here.  Keagan doing his planking on a playground in Falmouth Massachusetts.

We couldn't even really stay at the park that long with fear that the children would over heat it was so hot and humid out.  This was such a beautiful play ground though and the kids loved it.

While the children played we did some shopping but not too much.  ;)

I loved this town.  It was called Plymouth Massachusetts.  Oldest to youngest.  What a great looking group of children and they were all so good.

We did some walking and exploring in this town.

This is Plymouth Rock where the first Pilgrims came ashore way back when.

Boys will be boys and couldn't resist exploring in the rocks.

This is the monument they have around the rock.  It was such a beautiful town with lots of history.

My dear friend who I love and miss very much.  She was such a good sport coming around with us while he husband was working hard at school.
