Day 7 Niagara Falls

8:05 PM
Today was mostly a down day to recover from our late night at the Drive-in last night.  It was a great night.  Olivia and Liam made it through Brave and The Avengers both, but Braeden slept and I dozed through the second.  Getting home at 2:30 was exhausting and I knew we'd need some rest time today!  (Olivia slept, and slept hard until I finally woke her from a deep sleep at 11:15!)

After lunch (breakfast for Olivia!), we went on a small side trip to Whirlpool State Park to see the sights... beautiful!

Funny that we were directly across the border from the back of Great Wolf Lodge where we went while in Canada!  Liam thought we could put our suits on and just go on over!




See those TINY rocks WAY down there???  You can BARELY make out a couple black spots on them...


Here are those spots up close... CRAZY people!  HOW they got down and WHY on Earth they are hanging out near those rapids is beyond me!



LOVE this!


And this! (Liam was being stingy with photos today!)


A little time to play!






Caught ya!

Tomorrow is our LAST FULL DAY before we head back!
(We are taking two days on the way back and stopping for some fun in OH on the way!)
It's so hard to believe our vacation is dwindling down to a close. 
It will feel good to be back (but not to the HEAT they've been having!)
and to see Percy (our pup), but we will certainly miss all of our 
family time and adventures!

About Me

I am a single mom to four amazing kids; each of whom just happen to have been adopted. The first three were adopted through foster care, and we just completed an international adoption from Haiti. Our family has grown through adoption and I am all the more blessed to know each of my children. I worship a mighty God, teach Special Ed, love bargains, and am inspired by Pinterest... come along with us for the ride!

What you should know about HIV

-HIV can NOT be spread through casual/household contact. HIV is not spread through hugging, kissing, shaking hands, sharing toys, sneezing, coughing, sharing food, sharing drinks, bathing, swimming or any other casual way. It has been proven that HIV and AIDS can only be spread through sexual contact, birth, breastfeeding and blood to blood contact (such as sharing needles). - HIV is now considered a chronic but manageable disease. With treatment, people who are HIV+ can live indefinitely without developing AIDS and can live long and full lives. - People who are HIV+ deserve to be treated with love, respect, support and acceptance as all people do. Additional information on transmission of HIV can be found on the Center for Disease Control website: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources

Little Did I Know

Little did I know that the road would be so rocky
Little did I know that the trip would take so long
Little did I know that my heart could hurt so much
Little did I know that God is never wrong

Little did I know that love could be so powerful
Little did I know that a dream so far could go
Little did I know that God would place the right ones
Little did I know that my heart, so large, could grow

Little did I know that a dream has it’s own timing
Little did I know that this day would finally come
Little did I know that four souls would be sent to guide me
Little did I know that they would choose to call me mom

But God knew all along and He had a plan to follow
God knew all along that my dream would soon come true
God knew all along that we five should be together
God knew all along that I’d share it all with you
