Niagara Falls

Day 6
Growing up we had easy access to Niagara Falls so, of course, we took it for granted. Now that we live 700 miles away we were excited to go see it and also to show the kids one of the greatest wonders of the world!
The girls weren't very impressed at first. I made them walk from the top of the rapids (past Goat Island) to the end of the falls. They thought it was cool but Jada kept asking to "do something fun" LOL! So, we went out onto the overlook and they were kinda impressed, we went all the way to the bottom and it still wasn't a big deal. I talked Daddy into taking them on the walkway where you can walk up to the middle of the falls and get soaked. By the time they came back down they LOVED it and Jada was finally having fun!

A nice shot of the falls - see the stairs near the bottom (look for blue raincoats)?
That's where Julian took them!


There they are at the 1st turn on the stairs


Look how close they are to the falls! SO COOL! They got completely soaked!


Thanks to a wonderful volunteer we have a shot of the fabulous JCrew!

That's awesome! I have never been there, but would LOVE to go! I don't know that I would want to get so close and get soaked though! LOL Julian is a good sport!
