Niagara Falls Butterflies

We are back home now (as of late last night). We had fun in Niagara Falls!! We stayed at the Sheraton Fallsview, with an ACTUAL view of the falls. It was pretty cool!! We went to the Butterfly Conservatory when we got to Niagara Falls as it was a very beautiful day and there are lovely gardens there. Here are some pretty butterflies that I took pics of inside the conservatory.

We also went to the Greg Frewin Magic Show, the Aviary, Glow in the Dark Golf, rode the Fury, visited Clifton Hill, the Hershey Store, the Falls, and ate at the Rainforest Cafe and T.G.I. Fridays as well as the restaurant in the hotel overlooking the falls too!

So, more pictures of everything later this week!!

Sunset

Here's a sunset picture (Napanee River) I took on the way home from soccer last Wednesday night. I thought it looked cool.

Anyway, I had a slow picture weekend as Keturah didn't go to horse riding and we had to go to a birthday party on Saturday night--I will add a few of those pics tomorrow. We were thinking of going hiking on Sunday, but after lunch and adult beverages at LoneStar, we got kinda tired and lazy (we can't hold our booze anymore--we only had one each!) and then it started raining, so we just headed home!

We are off to Niagara Falls on Wednesday of this week for a back-to-school mini-holiday, so I should get some good pics there!

Soccer is Over....

Here's Brookie with her 3rd place medal. Actually, I think they get a medal no matter what place they come in, but Brookie's team came in 3rd again this year, which was amazing, since they lost their first 7 games or so...They did really well and started to work together better once they got their new coach.

Congratulations Brookie (and Team Canadian Tire)!

Fun at the Park!

Here are some pics of Keturah and her cousin Andrew, playing at the park at the soccer field the other night...they weren't that interested in watching Brooke's team get their butt's kicked! Hee Hee...they did play the best team in the league, so that explains it, I'm sure.

Here's Keturah and Andrew spending time together!

Painted Turtle

Just one pic tonight --- here's a cute painted turtle perched on a rock out in the middle of the river. Took this Saturday during our walk along the boardwalk!

Gorgeous Guy!

We went for a hike around the river on Saturday and saw this gorgeous guy, a great blue heron, fishing in his normal spot and as per usual, I took a ton of pics and could have stayed there all night watching him!

Here are some of my favourite shots of him:

Goofy Pics!

Time for some more funny farm pics...Here are three from yesterday...they aren't overly funny, but different than I usually get at the farm! My mission was to look for DIFFERENT viewpoints!

1st Pic-Merlin--being too up close and personal (his nose isn't really that big!)
2nd Pic-Donkey-he isn't belly up--just rolling in the dust to keep the flies off!
3rd Pic-Who is this masked Horse? It's CASEY! Very cute, but very different looking when you can't see his eyes! Gotta keep those bugs away though!
