Fallin’

Last week we decided to take a last summer weekend break. We loaded up the car and drove to Niagara Falls to play tourist for a few days. It was so amazing the photos don’t do it justice. The power and scale is amazing and you cannot believe people have actually gone over them and survived.

We left on Thursday and it took us 8 1/2 hours (a bit longer than we thought it would) to get there. For fun, we stayed at a KOA and did a semi-camping trip. KOA has these fun camp kabins (their spelling not mine) that are one room with a bunk bed and a double bed, one light bulb and one socket. Nothing fancy, we cook over a camp fire and had to walk to the shower and bathroom but it was a fun way to see what camping with a two year old would be like.

Ellie did well and had fun running around the camp site. (sorry no picts of that because the camera decided to “jump” off the table at a dinner show – - we went to on Friday night and so we only have pictures until then.

Friday we played around the Falls. Did the Maid of the Mist boat ride into the falls, the walk behind the falls, a really fun dinner show where our waiter also sang and danced and ended the day with fire works down by the falls.

Saturday we went to the butterfly conservatory and to see the IMAX.

Sunday (after a two hour wait to cross the border back into the States) we drove home.

A fun filled weekend and great way to end the Summer.
