A couple of weeks ago we went to Niagara Falls, both the American and Canadian sides...and it was Awesome! We woke up at 3:30 in the morning, met 2 other couples, loaded up in a 15 passenger van and started on our 4 hour journey! The kids slept most of the way there and back, so that was really nice. We spent all day there and arrived back home at 1:30am.
This is a picture of us standing in front of Horseshoe Falls...named that way because it looks like a big horseshoe (go figure!). It is located on the Canadian side of the border.

This a different picture of Horseshoe falls...and that little boat down there - Yep, we went on it! We got a little wet, but it was amazing being so close to the falls and seeing them from a different perspective.

We also went on a little excursion called Cave of the Winds. We were able to walk down right next to the American Falls. It was a blast...we came out really wet, but it was worth it. Plus, we ended up getting these niffty panchos (which we threw away after) and some cool Niagara Falls water shoes.

We also went to an aquarium while we were there! Here's my hubby getting his head bit off by a mean and ferocious looking shark!!!

Niagara Falls was Beautiful and we were able to do lots of fun things. For any of you that haven't been there...I would definitely recommend it!!!
