Enjoying Clifton Hill

Welcome to our second day at Clifton Hill in Niagara Falls. Mathew and I took a closer look at things of interest. Take this photo for instance ~ Mathew is probably 5′ 10″ but he looks awfully young on that chair! The tallest man in the world sat in this chair.  This fellow is no [...]

A Teen’s Year – Week 2, Days 1-4

I have a picture a day but didn’t get them loaded.  Mathew is attending his week long summer camp with the autism centre.  He goes for the afternoon.  After dropping him off I peruse the area and pick him up three hours later.  By the time we get home we are pretty tired from the [...]

End of Week One in a Teen’s Year

Okay, I’m falling  behind!  I’m tired ~ and isn’t summer vacation for fun and rest & relaxation?  I needed some!  The end of the first week for our sample teen is one of rest. After a busy week our subject enjoys a bit of peace and quiet at the computer.  Just like her Dad, Kristen [...]

A Teen’s Saturday ~ Day 6

Oh boy it is Saturday!  Guess what? It’s hot out today… check it out: At almost 6 pm it is 30 degrees in the shade!  Sorry my American readers – I don’t know what that is in Fahrenheit except to say it’s stinkin’ hot! Somewhere in all this heat is Kristen, except I can’t find [...]

Day 5 in the Teen’s Year

Oooooo ~ it’s F-R-I-D-A-Y… the best day of the workweek!  Today we had a couple of wee visitors of the 4-legged variety.  My dogs looked at the mini daschunds unsure of what their purpose was.  Bosco isn’t used to dogs being smaller than he is and they made him nervous.  The little guys made themselves right [...]

Another Day in Teen Paradise ~ Day 4

Another hot, sunny day in paradise … and wait… what is our star doing?? Is that mail she’s looking at?  On such a gorgeous day?  Oh dear, is it….a…a… BILL?!!!! Of course not!  She’s only 16!  It’s her “Record of Employment” ~ in case she needs to go on pogey or something.  Pogey is what [...]

A Year in the Life of a Teen ~ Day 3

Niagara Falls ~ A View of Clifton Hill

Welcome to Clifton Hill ~ the cash cow of Niagara Falls.  Come on out and play… oh and before I forget?  Bring your wallet because you’ll be needing it! It’s chaos there.  The constant sounds and colours assault your senses for hours on end as the place doesn’t truly shut down until the wee hours [...]

A Day In The Life of a Teen ~ Day 2

Book?… Check! Sunscreen?… Check! Sun?… Check!  It’s the day before the big opening of “Hairspray” so it is a day to unwind, relax, and enjoy.  What better way than to work on that tan and read a good book?  Kristen is relaxing on our back deck in the late afternoon and yes, she has sunscreen slathered [...]
