Niagara Falls


We went to Niagara Falls today. We stayed on the U.S. side, mainly because of the little terror problem they had up in Toronto this week. The border is a little tighter, and it wasn't worth the hassle. (Plus Tara doesn't have her birth certificate, and was worried about it.)

The Falls are still there. The girls don't really remember the visits from one time to the next, so I get to give all the information I know over again, and look really smart every time we go.

There weren't very many people there today. (Even less over on the Canadian side.) I partly blame this on the forcasters who were calling for thunderstorms this afternoon. (I think it was actually scattered thunderstorms...)

The girls, as always, were enthralled with the waterfall. Ruth really liked it.

The thing about the U.S. side of the falls is that you can get very close to the water. Like spitting distance when you have cotton mouth. You are just right there. There's no other way to desribe it. Kaylyn went with us, she had never visited the U.S. side, and seemed to like it. If you visit, and end up on the Canadian side (for the view), make sure you take the time to go over to the U.S. side and walk around.

I'm sorry that blogger doesn't like the size of the picture and is dropping the resolution. Someday I can show the high res pictures. Maybe I should drop the resolution on the camera just a little...
