Because it was Fall Break...eh?

After parent/teacher conferences we headed north, and then north, and then east and then north and landed.....at Niagara Falls.

We stayed on the Ontario side because the kids wanted to go outside of our country.  Two minutes into Canada Ethan says, "Can we go to a bookstore?  I want to see what kinds of books they have in Canada."  Unfortunately there were no bookstores in Niagara Falls, only cheesy souvenir shops.  

Our room was on the 29th floor of our hotel with a great view of both falls.  We watched fireworks from our window in our pajamas on the second night and enjoyed the full moon over the rainbow illuminated falls the first night.  


From the tour under the falls...

Ethan was a bit apprehensive as we walked close to the water.  He was afraid someone was going to fall in.  Kevin and I both remember feeling this way when we were close to his age and visiting with our parents.  

Watching the water was a bit mesmerizing and as you stand upstream and watch the water pour over the falls, it almost seems unreal. 

A good time was had by all.
