Kate and Zara

Michaela and Grace had the opportunity to go camping with their friends for a couple of nights. So Kate and Zara were the only kids at home. I asked them what special thing they would like to do and both replied without hesitation: "The Carousel"! So after we dropped Izaak back off at the airport, we drove to Port Delhousie to go on the 5c Carousel! I splurged and let the girls go on about five times ;)! The Carousel is on the lake front by Lake Ontario and so the girls went for a swim also. I put my toes into the lake and decided that playing in the water for me could wait, it was COLD! The girls didn't mind and had a great time splashing and playing in the sand. While I was on life saving duties, Albert texted me and told me/ordered me to treat the girls to an ice cream. Like a good wife I obeyed and told the girls. I gave the girls an option to have an ice cream on the 'beach' but both said that they would prefer to go to Costco and have an ice cream there! Since Costco is closeish we went there and had our treat! What a fun day!

Having fun with Izaak!

We played the tourist again when Izaak came and showed him some of our favorite sites! We went one night to the Falls to see Clifton Hill and the lights at the Falls. The lights were very spectacular! Izaak did a better job of the photos than I did so a lot of the night ones are from him!

American Falls at night!

Lightbeams, pretty cool huh?

We also went again to the Lock 3. The girls all wanted to pose with this man (sorry can't remember the significance :( ). Also while we were waiting for a ship to enter the 'lock', the girls sang some of the VBS songs that they learned at Church. ("Father Abraham!')
