Kris and Chris Road Trip




Just last week Kris and Christine made their annual trip down to soutern ontario. After a rough start with Kya, who was miserable with a fever finally took a liking to them after two days (plus Kris needing to shave his facial hair).

When guests come down to Guelph, we like to be good host and expose the northerners to things that they can't get back home. The first night here we went to W Sushi, an all you can eat sushi restaurant. The next couple days were the usual, just relaxed and took in the summer days at home.

On wednesday, we all woke up early and made our way to Niagara Falls. First stop, the Factory One Outlets. Everyone bought a lil sum sum, except for me.. I had bigger plans for my money that day :P

After shopping we went to the Falls. Very hot day and the mist of from the falls did not do anything to cool us down. After some pics and vids we walked up Clifton Hills. For those who has never been, there is a lot of things to see from haunted houses, to Rippley's Believe it or Not, hand waxing place, to a large arcade which we were able to explore, check to vid to see what happens.

Eventually we ended up back at Fallsview Casino because that's where we parked. I thought it would be nice to show Kris the casino since he hasn't been here before. So after we got special instructions from the girls, which was "$20 only!" we took a look around. Kris has never played roulette so I gave him a tutorial. I played first and on the second spin I ended up hitting 14... and if you didn't know, that's my birthday and I had 4.5 chips on it so I ended up winning about $150... I was so excited that Kris decided that he might as well try it. On his first spin it came up 19... that didn't mean anything for me but it did for Kris that had 2 chips on it meaning that he won $72. So right away we were up... such a good feeling until i started getting texts like "your $20 should be done and you should be too" and "hellooooo?" when we didn't text back. lol. we ended up coming out +$135 and +$58 which is not bad for 20mins of gambling.

After that we made our way to TO to Korean BBQ or "the meat place" as Kris would call it. sooo much meat! haha. I have to admit, we were forcing it down at the end. After stuffing our faces, we made our way to get some crepes... there's always room for crepes! Nutella and bananas baby! sooo good.

We managed to fit two days worth of fun all in one day. What was more impressive is that Kris and Christine ended up starting their drive once we returned home at about 9:30pm. Don't know how you could do it cuz we pretty much passed out as soon as Kya went down.



All in all, it has been a summer with all the trips we've made and the visitors that came to visit. It is always nice to have family come down since I don't get to see them as often as I would like. Thank you all who has made there way here, we love you and miss you all already.

Love,

Eva, Kya, Pogi, Tater, and Shane
