The "Couple's" Week

Last week, we were so blessed to have two sets of couples - good friends - come visit for a bit, on different days! We were so thankful that they were both able to stop by, or drive that extra few hours so that we could see them :) First we had Jared and Breanne...
The evening they came, after supper, we went seadooing...well at first they had a bunch of trouble getting the seadoo going, so Breanne and I watched from the shore and had a great visit...while the guys paddled to shore. :) So great to catch up.
Jared and Breanne dashing off - after finally getting the machine going. :)
James and I, with a goofy grin off for a spin.
We stayed up late talking...Breanne holding our little girl. Pretty soon, they'll have their own little baby - on a few more months!
We went to the Windmill for breakfast one morning, and then headed off to Niagara Falls, the gorge and a little drive through tour of Niagara-on-the-lake.
A picnic, before starting our hike down the gorge.
Jared the photographer taking lots of pictures - as you saw with the previous post, I put a bunch of photos up that he took for us while we were all together. :)
Me - beside the not so still waters - cooling off my feet from the hike.
James and his girl laying down on the rock.
I'm really thankful for this sling - it's been great thus far.
You can see it a bit, but there is the whirpool jet boat in the middle which we watch go back and forth along the river, soaking many people.
Katelyn with her little hat on.
Daddy - with his daughter. So that's the first couple...and then a few hours after Jared and Breanne left, David and Jordan, and their two little boys arrived. They didn't get to stay quite as long, but we had a great time with them - only wished they lived closer.
Their little boy Alan, chewing on an empty cob on corn.
Playing a game that night that they taught us.
Their 10 wk. old little boy Ayden and our little 6 wk old Katelyn. Kate was a bit scared for some reason - thus the tears. :)
Saying goodbye at the Windmill with us and the children.
Jordan and I - God has given me so many wonderful friends! I never thought I'd see this much of family and friends this year...so special. And in two days, James, Katelyn and I are off to Alberta!! :) I can't wait for my family to see Katelyn - how special that will be.
