Kids Blog!

Today, between Cleveland and Niagara Falls, I asked the kids to write some things down for the blog.  Here is what we achieved.

This past week to start our roadtrip has been amazing.  To start off our roadtrip we went to Saskatchewan and "floated" in a saltwater lake.  On the second day we went to Winnipeg and explored the forks with dad's family.  But on the 3rd day we did almost nothing except drive to Minneapolis.  Even though day 3 was boring day 4 made up for it.  We stayed in Minneapolis and saw the Twins game and it was so cool.  For day 5 we drove to Chicago and that was pretty much all.  On day 6 we wen to the White Sox game and after went to Bubba Gumps, the childrens museum and saw the Chicago skyline from a dock on Lake Michigan!  We stayed in Chicago and watched the Cubs play and got to hear their win song.  On day 8 we drove to Cleveland.  Dad went to a card convention and we swam in the pool.  On day 9 we saw the Indians play against the Angels and got to run the bases.  Now we are on day 10 and driving to Niagara Falls.

Day Five - Minneapolis to Chicago

Today got off to a great start!  We laughed at the people heading into Minneapolis during the morning rush hour as we zoomed right out!  Ha Ha!  And then... construction!  Bam!  It dampened our spirits, but we were still moving forward!  We found a cute State Park by Wisconsin Dells to eat lunch only to discover it wasn’t for day use. So back tracked and found a picnic table and playground. It was nice. When we got back on the interstate, we were detoured into Madison. The detour took us about 45 minutes off course and then another 45 to get back on track which got us into Chicago right at RUSH HOUR. Bam.  ha ha?  Karma kicked us in the butt! The good was that Madison is very pretty. The lake on the University of Wisconsin campus is gorgeous and I would love to live there. T would not. He was less than impressed by the detour. The condo is really cute. It is literally steps away from Wrigley Field. We walked down and grabbed some Chicago piz...

Day Nine - Cleveland

Today started off really early. I’m not sure why none of us can sleep in... We headed to the field two hours before game time. T wanted to watch warm ups. It was HOT!  90 degrees and no wind or clouds. Just before game time, some clouds came out to give us a little break and Jose Ramirez hit a home run and literally brought rain...  Josh Donaldson who?!?  But by the second inning, it was clear skies and straight sunshine which made us all a tad uncomfortable. Luckily for us, there was a kids zone. They got to throw strikes, hit wiffle balls, and take swings off a pitching machine.  M was in heaven!  We went back and watched some of the game with T, and melted some more. On Sundays, all kids get to run the bases after the game.  A guy at the hotel said that Terry Francone likes to go out an high five all the kids.  And that some of the players will hang out on the field signing autographs.  Sadly, this was not the case today, but they still had...

Day Eleven - Niagara Falls

There's a place I know in Ontario Where the sealions kiss, so the story goes It's amazing shows and Friendship Cove Everyone loves Marine Land You'll be spinning, diving and soaring high Our roller coaster ride will fly you to the sky Now you know what you'll say when you leave here today Everyone loves Marine Land Okay, now you all have the song in your head too!  I've been singing it all day long!! We arrived right when the gates opened and headed to Friendship Cove to see the Orcas and Belugas.  The Belugas were so playful and we could only see one orca which was a little disappointing.  I hope there isn't only one left...  but I didn't ask because I didn't want to know the truth! We then walked around park to figure out a game plan.  T and I were there 12 years ago, but we didn't really know the kids rides.  We let the kids do a couple of rides and then headed to King Waldorf's theatre to watch the show.  It's exactly as I re...
