We had a great time at Niagara Falls last week. It was Mia's first family vacation. We stayed at the Hilton and had a great view. We went on the Maids of Mist boat ride that drives you straight into the falls, the Journey Behind the Falls, and Falls of Fury. It was so nice to just be able to enjoy my kids without having to worry about work, making meals, and cleaning house. We ate at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville and the best chinese buffet ever called the Mandarin House. We wish we had one by us. The kids swam at the hotel and our little Mia is quite a fish! Our family excluding Mia is very tired of the Chipmunks movie and the Mulan movie. We brought 10 DVD's with us, but Mia would only be good during Mulan and the Chipmunks movie, therefore we watched them over and over. Overall, I think she did great on the 9 and half hour car ride. This weekend we tried out The Journey restaurant in Fishers hoping it would be as good as the Mandarin House in Canada....it was a close second. The servers thought Mia looked like Mulan, imagine that.
Now we are back home to reality. I am picking up extra shifts at the hospital to pay for all the back to school expenses. It is amazing how the summer has flown by. Westin has started his long and grueling football practices and should be in great shape in no time. I wonder if he would mine if I joined practice for the conditioning part? I need to be whipped into shape, but doubt he would allow it :)
I am hoping to get many things accomplished this week and need to start planning for Mia's birthday. She turns 2 on 8/8. It is amazing how she has totally become part of our family and I can't imagine life without her. God is so good!
