Spring Break Part 1-Niagara Falls

We started our trip with a night in Niagara Falls. We left home and went into Canada in Port Huron. We arrived mid day on the first day to Niagara and stayed on the Canadian side. We had a beautiful hotel room that was overlooking the falls. The kids loved it. It was cold and even snowed that evening while we were enjoying the pool. 

This is the view from the room.

Riley loved the bathtub.

 It was cold and wet out there! I love how the wet spots are right on their faces.

Breakfast overlooking the falls

After breakfast, we headed to the border and got back into the U.S. We drove to Long Island, New York to spend the night before heading into the big city!

Math Pentathlon

Riley participated in the Math Pentathlon program again this year. She would stay after school every Monday to play math games! The final component of the program is the Game Day which is what my pictures are from.

Let it Snow

What a winter! We have had an unusually warm winter. Finally, the snow is falling and the kids are enjoying it. It is beautiful!

The kids made a family of snow people.

Happy New Year! Welcome 2012!
