International Peace Garden

Zoë has been talking about going to a different country non-stop.  So we told her that we would go on Saturday.  She was so excited she could hardly sleep!  We drove to Lake Metigoshe for a picnic and playing at the playground.  Then we were off to Canada to the International Peace Garden.  Zoë was thrilled and confused the whole time.  How could we be in a different country when they spoke English and it looked the same?  I'm glad I decided to leave the messy house as is and go.

 My kids have a thing with not letting go of their food.  Ever.  Notice Emmett and Ellie in the following pictures!  No wonder they are not malnourished :)

 I love this picture.  They are such good friends and can hardly do things away from one another.

 International Peace Garden:  A whole lots flowers and a whole lota walking = really tired kids

 Classic Minnie pose:  She is so crazy but we love her.  Especially since she makes me laugh.

 Beautiful scenery on the way.  It reminded Alex of Jersey.  I am so grateful to see TREES!

 Buddy boy was barely moving his legs were so tired.

 Me with the kiddos at the 9/11 memorial.  They could barely make it back to the car at this point.
