Niagara Falls.....check! We've been trying to get there for the past 4 years and finally found the time. My parents flew into Buffalo, NY and met us there. We stayed on the Canadian side which was an unbelievable sight. The picture below was taken right out of our hotel window. It's about a 6 1/2 hr drive from Philadelphia so we did a late night road trip hoping that the kids would tucker out in the car. After about 4 hours (at 11:00 pm), they finally gave up and fell asleep. We arrived at about 2 am. The following day we did most of the touring including Maid of the Mist. By that evening, Brooklyn was not looking too happy. After all, what's a vacation without a sick child? Sure enough, Brooklyn spiked a fever and was miserable for the rest of the trip. Of course, we were in Canada, so I couldn't take her anywhere. I know they have socialized medicine but I'm pretty sure it doesn't apply to us. So, we took her to the doctor once we got back into the U.S. a few days later. Poor girl was sicker than I'd ever seen her but she was such a trooper! Overall, it was an amazing trip...something I will never forget!
The Canadian Falls
The Maid of the Mist. That ride was worth every penny!!
This was a Hayley size port hole that was perfect for her. She was able to view the falls without us holding her. What a blessing!
The American side of the falls
Papa J, Granma and Brookie
This is the point when I knew Brooklyn was not feeling too good. It was written all over her little face
The endless rainbows were awesome!
I'm pretty sure this was taken before we went below the falls. We were drenched by the end!

Okay so I know we are not supposed to be envious...but I am way jealous! What a fun trip. It will probably be 3 years before we make such a trip ourselves. So fun your parents got to come, you look a lot like your mom-weird how that happens! Can't wait till Thursday!
ha ha... Janell... you'll never believe that we had the exact same experience... got there late and the kids hardly slept and Brooke got sick... That maid of the mist was definitely worth it though! Glad you finally got up there to do it! Hope all is well with you guys... Oh by the way.... I'm having another girl.... Poor Spencer but I am actually excited. :)
Wow! I actually went there when I was 7 but have very little memory of it. I DO remember standing far away from it and getting wet still. What an awesome family trip for you all!
Looks like so much fun! I too can't believe how big Ethan is!
You have such a darling family!!!
What an incredible experience, just sorry Brooklynn was feeling ill. You got some great shots of the falls with your family. I so wish I could have visited there while we were living back east!
Miss you guys!
