Buffalo, NY - Land of Wind and Wonder :)


Chad had not seen his Grandma Clemons since he was 8 years old (that is 17 years folks), so we decided to make a trip to Buffalo, NY to visit her.

While we were there we got some wonderful pictures and stories for our family history and visited Palmyra NY and Niagara Falls. Oh, and we also ate the famous Buffalo wings, Ted's hot dogs and Buffalo Roast Beef! What's a vacation without food??

Below are some pictures from our trip!


Due to the wind and wet ground, we could not go into the Sacred Grove, but we still were able to sit right next to it and ponder...


Sacred Grove to the right - beautiful scene - looks like it came out of a book!

Upstairs in the Smith Log Cabin - where Angel Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith

The Smith Frame home - where the Golden Plates were hidden several times from mobs

Palmyra Temple

Niagara Falls



We crossed the border into Canada because Chad wanted it to be an "international" vacation - Turns out you need 50 cents per person to return to the US - thanks goodness for coin machines!

Easters

There are probably only a handful of people on this earth that immediately thought of Nacho Libre when reading the title of this post...if you are one of them, I think we are meant to be ;)

Anyway, this year for Easter, Chad and I went to Chattanooga to spend Easter with the Morehouses (also known as the Morehomes... k, maybe that is only funny to Chad and me). It was really fun and relaxing!

We ate, played with goats, ate, played with chickens, ate, pet a horse, ate, ate and ate. We love going to Katie's because she is such a good cook, but we hate how we look when we leave!

Below are some pictures to enjoy!


That is the closest to a smile I could get out of little Addie!


Luke - looking all schnazzy for church

Allergies make me look like I am crying...oh well

Us :) - Looking awkward as always...
