Thursday morning we drove up to Dave and Kristine's house, piled in their Pilot, and headed for Niagara Falls. I haven't been in a very long time, and Ry had never been so we were pretty excited.
We made it to Canada with no major mishaps, checked in to the hotel, and then left Kristine and Victoria napping while we went and rode the Maid of the Mist.
Those are the American falls in the background. Pretty cool, but not as impressive as the horseshoe Niagara Falls.
Parker had picked out a dress to wear and was not about to let it get wet.
It was really fun to have Dev and Con with us.
The maid of the mist from above.
After the boat ride we walked along the sidewalk to see the falls from above. Park was tired so Uncle Ry carried her.
Here are the big falls up close, it was really pretty.
Right after this we walked inside a shop for a few minutes and by the time we came out it was POURING. We ran/walked at least a mile back to the hotel and were soaked by the time we got there so we decided to head to the indoor water park for a while.
Dev made friends.
After dinner we did a few fun things around town including these 4-d movies where the seats moved and everything.
We rode a shooting ride at the arcade in the hotel.
And played mini-golf at the black light place.
Then the boys went through a haunted house they said was pretty lame.
Then Parker decided she really wanted to ride the Sky Wheel. Well Mommy doesn't do ferris wheels and Dev and Con declined so Uncle Ry went with her.
She LOVED it (clearly she got that from her dad).
The next morning we ate breakfast.
Did some shopping.
They upgraded our rooms so we had a fireplace, a couch, a big bathroom, and a view of the American Falls.
Park, Dave, Kristine, and Victoria went mini golfing.
We spent a few more hours at the waterpark.
And then headed home to these crazies who had been hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa while we were gone, and then had gone over to play with Zoey.
