Niagara Falls...Again :)

Levi had almost two weeks off of school, so we took a few days and did some sight seeing. We went back to Niagara Falls, with MUCH warmer weather this time, and then went to Palmyra. We went with some friends and their family that had come into town, which made it a lot of fun....Thanks Snedakers (you guys are awesome)!! It was a beautiful warm day, and we did all of the fun stuff. We even went across the border to Canada. It was mine, Levi's and Kassidy's first time out of the country (surprising since we grew up close to the Mexico border). Really, Canada wasn't much different than the states, but we didn't venture very far. :) We're hoping to go back and see more of the country sometime. Anyone want to come?

A view of the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls with the Horseshoe Falls way in the back.

Levi and Kassidy at the beginning of our Maid in the Mist ride. It was awesome! They take you right up to the falls. The mist soaks you (hence the rain coats), and the wind picks up like crazy as you get closer. Miss K actually seemed to really like it. She got pretty wet, and she didn't make a peep. Levi and Kassidy got much wetter than I did, and both ended up with colds by the time we got to our hotel that night.

Our family (including baby girl on the way) in front of the American Falls

A rainbow in the mist in front of the Horseshoe Falls, Canada. These falls are much bigger than the American ones.

Daddy and daughter in Canada in front of the falls. After a LONG day in the sun, water, and wind it was tough to get this little girlie to smile or look at the camera. Daddy had to resort to tickling!

I would love to go there! I think Evan went when he was in HS. From the pictures it looks amazing!

I was going to ask the same question...when are you due?

You all look so happy!

Ever since I was little and there was that little waterfall by Ross Hansen's house in the irrigation ditch, I have loved looking at waterfalls. Someday I will get to see a big waterfall like that. It is something that I really want to see.
