Canada trip with G&G

In front of the Palmyra Temple

First log home of Joseph Smith

Grandma and Grandpa were kind enough to invite us on their vacation to Canada.  We met them on Saturday in Palmyra, New York to see the church history sites.  We saw the Printing museum, then went to the Joseph Smith homes and the Sacred Grove.  Unfortunately, it started pouring and lightning while we were walking through the Sacred Grove so we had to make a mad dash back to the car.   We stayed the night in Palmyra then drove to Niagara Falls.

Looking across to the Canadian side

 We stayed there for about 30/40 minutes then headed into Canada.  The resort was about 3 hours north of Niagara Falls and we didn't want to get there too late.  The plan was too come back down and spend more time at Niagara falls later.  Our family was there a year ago and we did the Maid of the Midst and looked around for a while then also.  The resort we stayed at was at the Southern end of the Georgian Bay of Lake Huron.  It is a ski area and plenty chilly for the middle of June.  Having left 90 degree humid weather in Virginia though the cooler weather was nice for a change.  Luckily the pool was heated and they also had a hot tub so we were still able to go swimming.  Swimming in the lake though was a different story.

Brave enough to get his feet wet.

I couldn't get that close and not say I put my feet into Lake Huron, it was COLD though

We had to take a walk around all the sailboats waiting to be used on the Lake. 

The kiddies were fighting over holding Grandpa and Grandma's hands.  Also riding in the car with them and sitting by them at dinner. 

After that beach we drove around to a more populated beach where there was actual sand.  The water was a little warmer though really dirty due to a very shallow shoreline.  People were walking out 50 feet and it was only waist high.  Still a little too cold for much swimming though.  The kids played in the sand for a few minutes. 

We had a fun time and were very thankful for being able to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa.  We have been missing them the last couple of months.
