Hello from DeForest!!

Julie - what a great idea. Believe it or not I have never "blogged" before. A couple of weeks ago Noah and I took a short trip to Niagara Falls. We left Monday morning at 7:30 am and drove 11 hours and made it to our hotel around 8:30 pm. We drove through Canada and had a great time. We hit the tourist area (including a huge Ferris wheel with an air conditioned car) for the nightlife and went to sleep around midnight.

Up and at 'em at 8:30 am and started power touring. We hit the jet boat and at about 10:45 am we were traveling through class 5 rapids and next to the whirlpool. What fun!!! After lunch and souvenir shopping we went through the Journey Behind the Falls. We went back to the room for a while and took a ride on the Maid of the Mist. Both were very cool as well! Little more tourist type stuff and in bed a little earlier Tuesday night.

We were back in the U.S. Wednesday morning at 10:00 am, drove through and were home by 11:00 pm. Quick, but a ton of fun!! Next time we might take Rita with us!!!!

That weekend we then went to camping at Castle Rock lake with my brother and Noah's friend Joe. Did some fishing and a little boating and watched some fireworks across the lake.

Can't think of anything else to exciting at this point. When I do, I will blog.
