Niagara Falls!!!!!
Yeah! This has been one of my favorite places for over 10 years! I was so excited to come back and bring my kids here. This is the American side of the falls. You can just see the tip of Horseshoe Falls in the distance. I forgot our passports and birth certificate's, so we couldn't go to the Canada side. It all worked out okay though and we got to do everything we wanted to do.Burke and Ellie at the overlook of the falls.

Ashton with his usual amount of enthusiasm!

Poor Bradley was having a major meltdown at this point. He is crying in almost every picture but this one. The only way to calm him down was with food.

This is at the top of a huge tower thing way above the water. It was super windy and a little nerve racking with kids up so high. Of course they were perfectly safe, but looking down was a little creepy!

If you ever go to Niagara Falls you have to ride the Maid of the Mist. It is a boat that goes out to the falls and into the mist as close to the falls as it can get. Naturally you get wet so they give these sweet blue ponchos. The kids had so much fun playing with them. They really are a crack up!

Niagara Falls is in my parents mission-at least the American side-so they were able to drive up and ride the boat with us. It was so fun to have them there! We laughed and laughed as we got pelted with water from the falls.

I love this picture of Brad! It is so his personality-happy and cheerful! This is clearly post melt down.

Notice the path of blue ponchos up the side of the hill. When we got off the boat, Braxton, Ellie and I walked up these stairs up really close to the falls. Like I said, it was a really windy day and the water from the falls soaked us!! I mean, but shoes were full of water and my poncho didn't help much. It was like someone was dumping water over us there was so much water. It is one of my favorite memories with my children. SO FUN!

I took the rest of the pictures from the boat. I couldn't take many because there was so much water misting over us. We were all wet, before the kids and I hiked up the stairs. My dad had his suit pants and nice shoes on and they got soaked. We found it quite funny!

This is still the American Falls. There was a constant rainbow as we drove by.

This is Horseshoe Falls. I can't even describe how powerful it is to be so close to this water. It is loud and you are surrounded by the falls. It is amazing!! I don't think you could get any closer to these falls without mishap.

This is another boat going into the falls. You can see how neat it is from this view and how much water there is.
