My latest contest

I love to enter contests but I never when anything. Well I guess I have one a couple things. The best so far was a set of bitty baby twins and the a double stroller for them from American Girl. I am always trying to win a disney vacation. Here is my latest entry... you had to share a favorite vacation moment with a picture. This contest is through the Family Fun website. The last day to enter is today so hurry if you want to enter.




Never in my imagination did I think I would end up being a mom with six kids. I have discovered that with a lot of kids, you get a lot of laughter, a lot of joy and a lot of favorite vacation moments. One of my favorite moments was on a trip to upstate New York. My in-laws were living in Palmyra for two years just three hours from Niagara Falls. Even with six children ranging from 3 months to 11 years we wanted to take advantage of the situation while visiting Grandparents and see the Falls. It was a spectacular sight. Coming from the desert of Utah we had never seen anything close to those waterfalls. We decided to take the Maid of the Mist boat tour to get a closer look at the Falls. We were on the boat enjoying the ride when suddenly we got close to the falls. The winds blew and the kids could hardly stand up, the thick mist came and drenched us, like we were in a hurricane. I ran below with the baby and daddy stayed with the five others. It was quite an experience, one the kids still talk about.

New York was a great trip-two years in a row! I hope you win and get to go to Disney World. It's pretty much the best vacation we have ever had. The children want to do it again.
