Get off the Bus Gus

Yep, we spent the whole day at Kindergarten today. It felt like 100 hours, but was only from 8:00 am to 2:20 pm. Both Jacob and I really like our teachers, and look forward to going back to school after the Labor Day holiday.
Here's another video that dad took, this time of us getting off the school bus.




We found out that we don't take the same school bus home that we took to School. In the morning we're on Jeff Gordon's Bus, # 24, and when we come home, we're on bus # 45. I'm not sure who drives the #45 car in NASCAR, but I'll check with dad, cause he always knows that kinda stuff, and let you know.

Get On The Bus Gus

Well, we're at school, our first full day at Kindergarten. This morning was another exciting one, we got up early, had breakfast, and then got ready to meet the bus out front. Dad took the day off to watch us climb aboard the bus, and to comfort mommy as we drove off. We told her it was going to be OK, we're big kids.
While we're at school, we asked dad to upload the pictures and video he took. That should keep him busy for a few minutes.

We're going to learn some things today, so we'll be busy for the next few hours, but we'll try to upload some more pictures and video of our arrival at home from school.

Not Phased

Much to the dissapointment of mommy, our Phase In Day for Kindergarten finally happened.
We woke up early, and got ready for the bus to come get us. We were so excited that we didn't even realize that we wanted to go outside 30 minutes before the bus was schedule to arrive.
Finally we saw it coming down the street, boy were we excited. Mom rode with us and spent some time in each of our classes. Jacob and I are in different classrooms. We got to meet some of our classmates (only the ones with Last names beginning with A-L, the M-Z'er will be Phased in on Thurday).
Here are a few pictures

Pneumonia ?????

Yep it's true, Jacob has Pneumonia. Yesterday he had a cough, and mom gave him some medicine, but this morning he woke up and his cough was worse, way worse. So mom loaded us into the mini-van and off to the doctor we went.
Doc said right away it was pneumonia, but not a severe case, so with some antibiotics, and some bed rest, he'll be ready for our Kindergarten Phase-In Day next Wednesday, and the first full day of school on Friday.

Get better little brother.

One Last Look

Unfortunately, today was our last day in Niagara Falls Canada. We did lots of cool stuff and saw lots of awesome things around the Falls. After we checked out of the Howard Johnson's, Dad took us by the Falls one last time and then we headed for the Rainbow Bridge and the road back home.

Mom took a few pictures as we made our way back the the USA

Pool Side

Today was our last day in Canada, we went to the White Water Walk this morning, and had time for a quick dip int he pool before we had to check out of the hotel. Dad didn't swim this time, instead he took pictures and a couple short video's of Jenna and I going down the water slide.

Say Cheese

Okay, we had a little bit of time before we had to be at the White Water Walk, so we went down to Souvenir City. They've got a bunch of stuff set up outside where tourist, like us, can take those cheesy pictures you aways see.

So here are some of ours:

Raging River

This morning, before we leave to head back to America (we know, it's over right across the river) We checked out the White Water Walk, which takes you right down in the Niagara Gorge, along the river. We were the very first people this morning. We rode down the elevator, approximately 23 stories, to the tunnel that takes you out to the river. It was really cool, we had the place to ourselves for a couple of minutes before other tourist started showing up.

Oh Canada 2, Take 2

Here are some of the Still pictures we took of our ride on the Maid of the Mist boat, when we went down to the Journey Behind the Falls, and our trip back to the hotel.

Enjoy

Happy Anniversary

Yep it's true, 6 years ago today mommy married daddy, they were all smoochie smoochie this morning, so we wanted to wish them a big ol' Happy Anniversary.
We hope there are tons more in your future.

Canada, Day 2

This was our second day visiting Niagara Falls in Canada.This morning, after we had breakfast at Denny's, we headed down the hill to the Falls and got our tickets for the Maid of the Mist boat tour. It was way cool with all the water spraying all over the place. Dad even managed to get a couple short videos of it.

Butterfly Kiss

Mom, Jacob, and I spent a little bit of time at the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls. Dad went to search for a geocache hidden down int he Niagara Gorge. Here are some pictures that more took while we were there. It kinda creeped Jacob and I out a little having all these butterflies flying around us, so we didn't spend a whole lot of time there.

Sky Wheel

Although mommy hates heights (and we don't mean mayfield Heights) she went with us on thre Sky Wheel at Niagara Falls. As you can see in the attached videos, she wasn't happy about the ride, but we love her and are really glad she went with daddy and us.

Oh Canada

The time has finally arrived. As I sit here typing this, Mommy, Daddy, Jenna and I are at the Howard Johnson Hotel in Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada. They have free wireless, so I can update the blog with the pictures we've taken so far.

Here's a cool little slide show:



We'll be adding some more pictures tomorrow evening, so be sure to check back

Light Show

Here's a short (approx 30 seconds) video dad took last night of all the lightning.
Dad said that the lightning was pretty constant, right up until he grabbed the camera and went outside to grab a video of it.

Flooded

Wow, the rain really came down today. The weather guy said that up to 8 inches of rain was expected in some areas.

Here's a picture of the road to dad's work.

The power went out at Mr. Heater around 9 am dad said. They let all of the employee's go home around 10 because the power company said it would be a few hours before they had power restored to the area because of all the flooding. Dad's area was one of the hardest hit. Dad stayed to make sure people had rides to the rapid stations and what not. The power came back on about 10:20, so dad stayed and worked the rest of the day. The highway was closed due to flooding also, they said over 7 feet of standing water was on a section of I-480. Dad drives a Saturn, not a submarine. Uncle Adam drives a submarine, but who knows where he is right now (it's classified, if we told you.......... well you know)

After the storms let up, and the waters receded, Mom took Jenna and I over to Strongsville for my Pizza Party put on by the Strongsville Athletic Assoc. for all the kids who played T-ball this season. It was cool, we got to play at the Rec. Center and swim for awhile. Mom got me a trophy, which I'll have dad take a picture of, and post it later.

Stay dry out there.

Twins Days 2007

That's Right, Today is our day.

It's out 4th Twins Days Festival, and we love being a part of the parade, getting to wave at all the people lined up along the street to see us and all of the other twins.
Here are some pictures and a video for grandma.
