Niagra Falls... One full day..!

Today was our big day at Niagra Falls and although the weather was a bit drizzly we still had a lot of fun. The day was spent on the Canadian side of the Falls since most people had commented that it was the better side... We started the morning off walking down Clifton Hill "The street of fun at the falls"... it was full of shops, restaurants, and entertainment.



Think I can find a boyfriend here???

This look like a good choice... don't ya think?


The fun really began when we arrived at the falls... the ones to the left are the American one and to the right the Canadian falls... both are very pretty and completely different in size and form... both show the Glory of God and His Power..!

We decided to get the Discovery pack which included four different attractions plus the bus system for the day..! Here we are getting ready for the Maid of the Mist.... a boat that takes you into the falls... since we were going to get wet anyways it didn't really matter that it was raining already..!

We took the bus down to right next to the Canadian Falls for the next two events...
Niagra's Fury which was a short video on how the falls came to be... and then experience the falls in a 4-D adventure with rain and snow and a ride down the falls. Our next activity was the Journey behind the falls where we were able to walk up close to the Canadian horseshoe fall and feel the mist of it spraying back at us... and then head even further behind where you could hear and fell the power of the falls. I was just a little wet by this point..!


After a short break back at the hotel we continued on to the White Water Walk... which took you down the river to where they have class 6 rapids, the most dangerous you can ride down. I am amazed at how many people have attempted to do dangerous stunts here at the Falls..!


After we had some Indian food for dinner we rested a bit at the hotel and then fe finished the night off back at the Falls... we walked down with little hope of seeing the firework show because it was still raining a bit... but I still wanted to see the lights on the Falls... but the weather held up long enough for a spectacular fireworks show... the pictures do not do it justice.



All in all.. it was a great day..! Now I am exhausted so I am going to read my bible and try to get some sleep... who knows when I will have internet service again... maybe not until New York.. but I think you have enough to keep you busy for awhile..!
