Niagara Falls

Toronto being just about 90 minutes from Niagara Falls, we decided to take the trip and see what all the fuss is about. Traffic made the drive a little longer, but we finally arrived to find a large, beautiful park on one side of the road and the massive falls on the other.

Loved this sign where we parked:

Don't let the sneakies plunder your car!

Several spillways along the top of Horseshoe Falls:

For Tim M... First Student Canada!

I am happy to report that no one went over:

The mist coming off Horseshoe Falls was intense - much more than I was expecting:

My trip to Canada is now complete. Seriously.

Either this guy is huge, or Eryn is a midget. Hmmm....

Maid in the Mist heading into the splash zone:

American Falls and the international bridge into New York:

The "walk" signals in Ontario were awesome. The guy looks like he's strutting :) The light-up signs did that, too:

We walked all over, including a trip across the bridge back into the good 'ol U S of A:

American (left) and Horseshoe falls (right) in the background:

Never thought in a million years that I would... but a once-in-a-lifetime chance was too good too pass up (if you don't know me, I have a very severe water phobia):

Dad is SO excited: (I put my camera in a plastic baggie to keep it safe)

Horseshoe Falls from the river:

VERY wet!

American Falls from the river:

Had to do the little hike up next to American Falls:

Better go back to Canada:

And, lastly, a Mountie Moose... of course :)

Next up, a race and some Blue Jays :)
