day 18 & 19

more new york driving.  did the scenic route by lake ontario and stopped for a picnic at the state park.  it was so windy, the seagulls could hover like hummingbirds without flapping as the tide lapped in and they stalked fresh meat.

our kids are sick, as am i...my voice deepens by the day.  cliff especially appreciates my barry white/louis armstrong impersonations when i get all husky.  i can also fake a pretty good southern preacher.

we came back across the border (were greeted by a tim hortons at the crossing - thank you canada, for taking pride in something) and headed straight to niagara falls.

all i can say is that i kind of giggle that my kids delight much more in running through the aisles of the toy department at walmart late at night (that has become a nightly ritual when we stay there) than looking at one of the wonders of the world, something that most people in their whole lifetime won't even get to experience.  i remember visiting niagara falls as a teenager with my family and being a totally grouchy spoilsport (sorry mom).  i think the picture of me looked similar to josiah in our family picture there this week.  it's good.  really good.  but i'm going to keep you waiting.  you'll have to check back if you want to see it :)

we were met by some "bumpin" friends (i hear that's the new word on the street for awesome) who hosted all of us sickies for the night.  good food, ice cream, playing rook until the wee hours...good times.

the next morning, i got to do an engagement shoot for bonner and amber.  these guys are hot.  straight up.  full post to come soon.

did i mention they're all a part of a very menacing biker gang?  wouldn't want to run into these three in a dark alley, i tell ya.
