This post brought to you by McDonalds

All of today's posts are thanks to McDonalds free Wifi and air conditioning.  We are thankful for a place to cool off, recharge our batteries (literally) and get caught up with our blog.

The beach was hard on us all

Yeah, the beach was a tough place to leave...



But now we are in Niagara Falls and experiencing lots of new things. Most notably, camping in high heat with a feverish, nauseous, headachey girl-child :( It is okay now as she appears to be on the mend. We did manage to see the Falls and Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum before we started loosing her.

Amelia 1, Marc 1

In Sauble Beach, I was jealous of Amelia's perfect hand stands, so I've been practicing them here in Niagara Falls.

Your move, Amelia!

She got ink done

Oh, I forgot to mention, I got a tattoo.  I got it in Sauble.  Don't worry, it is not a real tattoo.  It is sorta like a henna but it stays longer.  And this is so cool, it is Amelia's aunt Alex that did the tattoo.  She had a crayon with this special ink in it and drew her design on.  Here is a photo of my tattoo.

The Tattoo

A couple of days ago, I was at Sauble Beach and I got a tattoo from my cousin Cobus' mom Alex.  It took a little bit of time to draw and then I had to wait for it to dry.  Then I peeled it off and while I was peeling it off it hurt a lot because it was pulling on all my arm hairs!

Niagara Falls Camping

Hey, now we are in Niagara Falls and we are camping here.  But guess what?  I got sick!!!  It was terrible.  I am getting better so we can keep on with our vacation.  The camp site is beautiful.  It has an outdoor pool and an indoor one.  A playground as well. 
Here I am, sick and asleep, while Leo watches a movie.

The Caves

A few days ago, we went to visit caves.  We thought there was only one cave, but there were a lot more when we went on the side.
There's a true story about the caves.  There was a man who didn't want to go to war, so he hid in the caves and lived there in the winter.

We had to climb to get up here.

The cave is not as dark as you think.
