New York Trip-the lost footage

It is always fun to download pictures from a camera and find some lost "treasures". During our trip to New York in July, we headed up to Toronto, Canada for a few days of fun. Little did we know that our trip coincided with the traveling Queen of England, a major power outage, and over 10,000 Shriners holding their national convention.... We did attempt to have some fun through this.

He was fascinated with this musical ball invention

The hotel we stayed at in Toronto had sleep number beds

Ian had fun choosing Daddy's number

Grandma and Grandpa came with us....Emma loves for others to read to her at bedtime
On Tuesday, we decided to take a ride on this...

This is the Hippo tour. We have done several duck tours in other cites and it has always been a fun way to see the city.

Emma was excited....until we found out it was the day of the Shriner's big parade and several main streets were closed

We had to take an alternate route

Along with the rest of the city

Needless to say, the 90 minute tour ended up taking 2 and a half hours! The smiles you see in this picture are because we are done!
We did not get to see Toronto at it's best, and might need to go back at some point to see what fun it has to offer!
