Maid of the Mist!

First of all, I wanted to share some pictures of our sweet puppy (who just turned 6 years old). He likes laying under Wes's hoodie, and he stayed under there for several hours one day.

And here is Wes and Boston laid back enjoying a football game.

So cute! Anyway, this past weekend my mom and dad came up to Buffalo for a (too short) visit. We were all very excited to ride the Maid of the Mist at Niagara Falls for the first time! If you're not familiar with it, it's a big boat that you ride around the base of the falls, and the name is very fitting because you definitely experience the mist! It was a pretty chili day - in the low 40s - but it was a sunny and beautiful fall day.

Here we are waiting to board the boat wearing our cute Maid of the Mist ponchos.

And here are some amazing shots of the falls from the boat. There were so many birds flying around and a gorgeous rainbow from the mist. It was really awesome.

So here is the picture of Wes and me and the rainbow. The sun was really bright, and I was turning to say that I couldn't even open my eyes, and my mom took the picture anyway. Oh well.

Just gorgeous!

Mom and Dad (and the falls and the rainbow):

And here's a better one of us with the falls and rainbow. You may not be able to tell, but we had just gone through the mistiest (is that a word?) spot and got shot right in the face with water so we were pretty wet.

Oh, it was so much fun and I am so thankful we had such a beautiful day to experience this.

I didn't do a very good job of taking a lot of pictures when Mom and Dad were here, so this is the only other one I got! We had dinner at Famous Dave's bar-b-que one night and it was delish.

We had a great time, Mom and Dad! Thanks for coming!

And finally, here I am at 21.5 weeks (taken October 16, 2009). The bump is quite a bit bigger than the last pic I put up here a few weeks ago!! She's moving around a lot now and it's crazy.
