Niagara Falls

The most consistent piece of advice we heard when we told people we wanted to go to Niagara Falls was that we had to go to the Canadian side~that the view is much better. Wanting to get the very most out of our experience, we followed that advice.



The trip from our house to the Falls was approximately 4 hours, but the anticipation of where we were going was enough to keep me & Mykah pretty entertained. Max is happy in the car with a movie, regardless of where we are going. Although it had to be tough on Joe, we made this a one-day trip. Of course, he never complained and we have this incredible memory to add to our ever increasing list of adventures. When we arrived there, we found a place to park and headed to the bridge to Canada. While it was a healthy hike, we were too stunned by the breath-taking view unfolding with every step that we took that we payed no attention to our feet. We didn't feel we needed to go out on the platform extending out over the water since we were walking around to the other side for the best view. We also didn't do a "Maid of the Mist" tour~we were fairly certain that Max wouldn't think much of the constant drizzle over us, and didn't want to risk the tantrum that could ensue because of it. We have no doubt that our day couldn't have been any better having participated in those activities!

























What incredible beauty...again, we are blessed to add this to our adventures!
