Niagara Falls Vacation

*WARNING* 

This post is really long and contains many pictures. 

I apologize in advance.

Last month the Sanders Family went to Niagara Falls. We stayed at a rental house in Canada. It happened to be a waterfront home on Lake Erie and 20 minutes from the Niagara Falls area. Perfect really.

This is the view of the house we stayed at.

And this is the view of the lake from the back deck.
It was pretty incredible.

We spent quite a bit of time out on the deck...enjoying the view, eating, making smores at night, visiting...you know the usual family stuff.

The first morning there, Reese spent some time on her Grandpa's lap.

She even put on a fashion show after she was given stole Julia's sunglasses.

 Score!

Reese also enjoyed her Baby Einstein exersaucer! It was something new and different and well, anything Baby Einstein is fabulous in her eyes.

SIDE NOTE: We rented a bunch of baby equipment from a baby delivery company so we wouldn't be without all the "essentials."

We did make sure to bring her Baby Einstein DVDs from home. She was centainly happy we did.

She enjoyed watching them just as much as she does at home. No surprise there.

You might be wondering--

Who all was in attendance on this Sanders' Family Trip?
Well, I'll show you.

Reese's Grandpa and Grandma Sanders.
AKA: Mark and Kathy

Reese's Aunt Tiffany and her cousins Megan and Julia.

Reese's (crazy) Aunt Kerry and Uncle Bill.
Crazy in a good way!

And their kiddos. 

Cousin Ryan.

Cousin Dylan.

Then us, of course.

You might also be wondering--

What did they do while they were there? 

Well, I'll give you a sampling.

We did the "Journey Behind the Falls"

and saw views like this.

We went to the Skylon Tower and ate lunch.

This is the view of the Falls from the restaurant.

Reese enjoyed sitting in a highchair while we ate.
Don't worry, she ate, too.

We went to the Hard Rock Cafe. It was Reese's first experience there and she loved the music and atmosphere!

I would highly recommend doing "The Maid of the Mist" boat ride. We did and it was probably the highlight of the trip for me. The boats get really close to the falls and you learn a bit of history, too.

We have a couple other plane trips planned this year, so you can imagine my excitement when I discovered Reese is an excellent traveler.

Not that I was worried or anything! I can't wait to travel the world with this girl and show her what it has to offer!
