Family: Mom Keeps Everything

I love the fact that my Mom has kept some of my toys from my childhood. I spent some time reminiscing when we were visiting:

Shirley my Cabbage Patch Doll in full 90's clothes:

Jo from New Kids on the Block, Troll Barbie, and Pocahontas:

Family: The Cottage

After Niagara Falls we took off to the Woltz family cottage. I've had friends ask me where it is, but my GPS was like ??? when we were there. Georgian Bay area-ish. It was absolutely beautiful! We spent two days filled with hummingbirds, chipmunks, boating and outdoor showers:

Family: Windsor/Niagara Falls

We came back from Windsor a few weeks ago, and instead of writing a reflection I went and organised the ENTIRE apartment! Label ALL THE THINGS! Anywho, we didn't spend as much time in Windsor, but road tripped it with the Mom and Mark. When we landed this is what the forecast said (EEEP), and praise the Lord for air conditioning!:

We did a family BBQ in the backyard, as Tom and I melted. The locals did a bit better than we did. My Mom has this beautiful backyard, and I'm kicking myself for not taking any pictures! Next time. On the Monday we took off to drive up to Niagara Falls. We stayed at the Oakes Hotel, which I have to say, wasn't the best hotel I've stayed in. The view was beautiful (see below), but the room was meh.

Tom was a sweetie and did the "Maid of the Mist", also known as the Hornblower Tour (I don't want to call it that), with me. We got soaked and rocked a poncho:

We went to the Keg for dinner for delicious delicious stakes. Pretty good time overall:
