We had a fun day walking around, looking at the falls and experiencing the environment. We decided to ride the boat that takes you right up to the falls to get the full experience. While we were walking out onto the boat we somehow got herded into a crowd of teenage students on a school trip. The best thing about it was that they were all speaking french. David said they reminded him a lot of the teenagers in Italy. It was pretty funny. It really made me feel old!
Gigi and David got to have the whole experience on the boat. David took Gigi right up front so the water could splash all around her. Unfortunately, Madeline decided as soon as we got onto the boat the she was hungry, so I could only experience the falls in one position :)
The day went smoothly except for 2 minor things: 1. Our GPS system didn't work in Canada, so of course we got lost a few times (hopefully one of our kids will have a good sense of direction to help us out). 2. When we left I broke the cardinal rule (don't ever put anything on the roof of our car) by putting Gigi's jacket up there, forgot about it and of course lost it.
Oh well it was all worth it to see the most spectacular falls ever!
The day started off by applying huge quantities of sunblock to everyone. I sure love having transparent skin! I had to take this picture. Isn't that so sweet- I love seeing my husband taking care of our kids.
It was so neat to be so close to the falls. It was a pretty hot day, but the mist from the falls made it perfect!
Isn't it great seeing everyone in blue plastic bags? I think it's pretty funny that they gave me a plastic bag to put over my baby. Luckily she survived.
Poor David- he has a baby in one arm and my purse in his other.

How fun! I have never been to Niagra falls. It looks beautiful. I am glad you got up there.
What a great opportunity to see Niagra Falls! The girls look resplendent!
I love that Gigi is wearing her ballerina dress. Looks like fun!
We went to the Falls last summer. It was pretty rockin', except we weren't as adventurous and stayed on the US portion. Maybe we'll have to hit it again in the future to get the full effect of the Canadian side of the Falls. Hope you guys are having fun in Erie!
Fun! If we weren't so far away, we'd have to come visit!!! We'll have lots of fun come August though. I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so we can have some real fun.
Fun fun fun! So did you guys have to get your passports to go to Canada? I've never been to Niagara. We'll have to head over there sometime :) Can't wait to see you all!!
What a great trip! I love the rain ponchos! Glad to see you are enjoying your summer and your growing family. Your girls are adorable (I love the walking video). Gigi's party looked spectacular! You sure know how to throw a good party! Enjoy David while he can spend time with you. This summer has definitely been busier for Eli with work an studying for the bar. I'll be glad when it's over.
You guys look like you have been having so much fun with all of your sightseeing!
Oh, fun! That is a really cute picture of you and the girls in a big, blue bag! I'm so happy for you that you guys are having such fun family adventures together! You deserve it!!! We miss you too.
Niagara Falls is so cool! And, isn't the Canadian side so much more spectacular?! We got to go there a couple years ago but it was only late March and FREEEEEZING! In fact, it was more like Niagara Ice Burgs when we were there, but we still enjoyed seeing it. Did you get to see the falls at night when they are all lit up in rainbow colors? It's awesome. Oh, and aren't the Canadian tourist attractions funny? (Talking about all the haunted houses that line the main streets).
