What we have been up to

My parents came to visit over the weekend. We got to do lots of fun things. The weather was absolutely freezing(I think the high one day was 5 degrees) but we still had to go see the fun sites. I think Niagara Falls is prettiest at night with the lights shining on it. Here is the lovely view:
(Next time we visit Niagara Falls we will do it in the day so we can actually see it)
The Hershey store has a pretend Niagara Falls inside, I think we all liked that view best. It was much warmer and they had great samples of fudge to try.
You can't come to Buffalo and not stop by Palmyra to see the Sacred Grove (Where God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph Smith). Me and the kids stayed in the warm visitors center while my parents got the tour so we have no pictures.

Then my parents did what grandparents do best and spoiled the kids. We went to the grocery store and got all sorts of things I don't usually buy and decorated Twinkies and Cupcakes. I thought the only way to get a Twinkie to be more unhealthy was to fry it, but my parents showed me you can also get the same effect with frosting and sugar candies.
We ended the vacation with a trip to Chuck E Cheese's. Between Anthony and the kids they used up 140 tokens in only 2 hours, needless to say they all had fun.
Thanks for everything. We loved having you here, Parker keeps telling me he wants you two to come visit again. You are welcome any time.

Hey if I brought my family could we go to Niagra in the dark to? I still remember the adult Chucky Cheese (Dave and Busters?) we went to in Houston. Great times. We are excited to see you in May.
