We went through some really hard times financially when we lived in Michigan. We were doing every odd job we could find to get by. We needed to get away, so me and our five children delivered telephone books in the greater Detroit area to earn money. When we had completed out task we purchased a tent and we took a four day holiday to Niagra falls. Our children were small at the time but it was the best four days. We had complete togetherness and we had learned to work together for a common reward. To this day our children talk about how someone threw a snake in the pool and they had never seen MOM move so fast either before or after as I ran to get out of the pool. We love to get out the scrap book and look at all the pictures of us all in raincoats standing under the falls. It was a great trip and it cost us less than $200.00 of course that was about 15 years ago. Lois
