The LaGreca Family

It’s really hard!

Just when you think you have things under control….what do you do? You go on vacation and mess up the entire schedule/routine. And not just a vacation in the same time zone – we are 3 hours off PST. Ouch! Our plan was to keep Nicholas on CA time….well, that was out the window on Day 2. Keeping him up late (10pm EST) wasn’t hard since we were already out anyway – and his normal bedtime is 7pm-8pm PST. BUT – what we didn’t think of was the sun coming up. Nicholas thought it was time to get up around 6:30am EASTERN TIME. I will let you do the math on that one..it was very painful for Mommy and Daddy.

I don’t have a lot of time to write, but I am trying to upload some pictures to keep you all updated. And hopefully, that will make it easier when I get home.

A couple of other things to note about our trip so far:

(1) You know you are in Buffalo with the LaGreca family when dinner is served on this plate:

(2) There really is nothing like Niagara Falls. And we got to bring our friends, Kristi & Sishir, for their first time! (Of course, it was Nicholas’ first time as well)

-And we went on the “Maid of the Mist” – Nicholas’ first boat ride! (Yes, I was a little nervous)

(3) Kan Jam – a fun game you can only play when you have a big enough backyard. I am guessing they don’t even sell it CA since all of our houses are squished together!

(4) Donuts….cake….pastries….chocolate….custard….I could go on an on. They are serious about their sweets here.

(5) Thunder & Lightening. Holy cow. I wish I could have caught last night’s storm on the camera. It was unbelievable! Joe was running from the front door to the back door to watch. I think it started raining around 7pm last night and it’s 3:30pm the next day…it was still raining 5 minutes ago. No wonder everything is green here.

(6) And, in case we didn’t all know this before..Nicholas loves the water. He is a little fish.

(7) We caved…..Joe and I finally caved….Nicholas had his first ice cream at the Fair. If it was going to be before his 1st birthday…this was a good time. The Erie County Fair is a summer memory for Joe’s many visits to Buffalo. You can imagine how the ice cream went over with the boy…..after all, he is my son…
