My dad's house is right across the river from Canada. So, of course we went internationally.First time we went over there, we drove over a bridge, and went to Rockport. It's a small little community, and several years ago my old roommate Carley and I walked all over it, to the point that I got bad blisters - weird memory I know.
We brought along our bikes and went biking.
We found a bike trail that went around the town and followed that for some time. 
We then decided to give the kids a break and stopped at a park.
We then rode our bikes down to the river. They had this nice pier to look out on the river.
As we were looking over the pier, William dropped his sippy cup into the river. We all sadly watched as the sippy cup drifted away (it was one of the better sippy cups). Then the water current was slowly bringing the sippy cup near us. The railing to the water was a good 6 feet, but Todd decided that he could get it without causing himself too much harm.
At first it looked hopeful, then as Todd was kicking his foot out to bring the cup closer, it floated too far out of his reach. He climbed back up to a very sad William.But to distract the boys, we pointed out some more of the ducks.
Then the sippy cup came closer once more, and Todd (being the super hero he is) decided that he could retrieve it.He was successful.
But then the boys were fighting over looking through the look out posts
(that weren't working because their parents didn't put any money into them)and someone got hurt.
But we did find a train's caboose that the kids could play with
The next day (it being our last day) we decided to ride the boat over to Canada. This we did and arrived to find a festival going on in the main street....only it was just ending. But the boys did try on some really cute raincoats.
After playing at the park some more and boating some more, we were ready to go home. We were sad that our trip was over.... but we were also very exhausted.

Loni, I love reading your blog. You have such funny stories to share about life with four little boys (well five if you include Todd!) Reading all your entries about New York brought back a lot of memories and I loved looking at the pictures because I still remember that house so well! I also remember when you got blisters on your feet so they must have been bad ones! Anyway, your family is adorable and your boys are so lucky to have you has their mom! Miss you!
