Friday September 25, 2020- Goodbye Niagara and Hello Batavia, New York

                  Look at these cute sleeping boys.   I just love my family.                                                                        

                                                                                                           

                           Today Scotty and I ran 6 miles together to Niagara Falls.  We had a blast and it was really great to see the falls one more time.                                                                    









                                   Pepper and Taj made a Tee-Pee together.  They are adorable.                                                                                            



                        Graham chose an amazing spot to take his math test today.  hahaha                                                                             

         Our next stop in New York was to go visit Batavia because my dad grew up there.  Our campsite was about 20 minutes east of Batavia.  After we parked the trailer and unpacked, we drove over to Batavia to see the cemetery where my grandparents are buried. This was very special for me. I zoomed my dad so he could see all the grave stones with us.  He also helped us know where all the stones were located.  My grandpa is Sam Nicosia and my grandma is Fanny Ciarallo.  Pepper's middle name came from this grandmother.  Pepper loved seeing the gravestone of who she was named  after.  We found Fanny's parents grave stones as well.  Then I found a Giambronie grave stone which is also a family name.  It was very special for me to see my family.  Honestly, I have felt my relatives with me my whole life so I know that they are my angels on the other side of the veil helping me out.  I didn't feel as close to them seeing their grave stones as I have during special moments in my life. It was still very important to me to be there and see them.  If you have ever seen the movie Coco, then you can imagine how I feel about my relatives.  We are very close and even though I can't remember them, I feel them with me, constantly.  Family is the most important unit here on earth and later in heaven. I am so very grateful to my Heavenly Father for all who I call family.                                                                                       

                                                                                                            


                                           We found a Graham                                                                                      



                                              This was my dad's neighbor growing up.                                                                                    

                     For our Hawkin friends - Hawkins hahahha                                                                                   

            For our friend's the Bateman's -  Bateman hahahah                                                                              







        Graham informed us that the Corona has officially died and life can go back to normal hahahahha                                                                                 






                       This was the house that my dad grew up in.  This place is the hood.   Now I understand a lot of the things that my dad has said and done. Good old Italian Mafia hahahahha.   Cute house but man, sketchy place.

  1. Graham is so wise (Corona).
    Seeing old family places really makes it real. The gospel plan is the greatest!
