We took Ian to Niawanda Park (right on the Niagara River) on Saturday to get out of the house and enjoy the nice weather.

Surprisingly the park wasn’t very busy…we came to find out that was because the wind off the water made it a little too cool to enjoy for long. Many people were bundled up in jackets and full-length pants. We thought they were crazy until we stayed for a bit and realized, it WAS a little chilly. Regardless, we stayed for about an hour and a half!

Ian wasn’t very happy to leave when we finally packed him up. We’ll have to go back again when its a little warmer out. He really liked looking at the water, seaguls, boats, jet-skis, squirrells, ducks and all the bike riders. (He even learned the word “boat” while we were there!)

Here are a few pictures of our visit to the park….

We took another trip to Muncie. Ian had a great time playing with his cousins and visiting with his family members. For a bunch of pictures, checkout http://www.mybabyian.shutterfly.com/!
Devilish cousins…what’s the best way to get at that cat???

Ian thinks the camera is pretty interesting (in color and B&W):

Ian…running towards me, giving me eye contact AND…A SMILE!!!!

All willingly and without being coerced or forced!

Can you imagine such a thing??? Anyone who has tried to take a picture of a toddler knows what I’m talking about!!!
