Niagara Falls, USA

So, what's fun to do at Niagara Falls, USA? We went with Grandma Ella and Papa Kirk...and we found lots of fun. And some good food, too.

First, we visited the Aquarium of Niagara, because it was pouring rain, and we didn't want to get too wet. (Ha! We ended up wet enough by the end of the day.) The aquarium was a tad on the small side, but that was fine. We got through the whole thing before lunch, and by then, it had stopped raining. The boys really liked the huge pool in the middle where the sea lions and seals did tricks.


We ate lunch at Caffe Lola. Grandma Ella had picked out the restaurant for the boys, because they served Nutella paninis. Everything there was delicious, and it seemed very healthy, too.

We visited the Cave of the Winds. This is the attraction where you take an elevator down to the bottom of the falls, and then climb up some wooden steps into the edge of the Bridal Veil Falls.


This is where we got soaked. Connor still doesn't like water in his eyes. Can you tell?


Grandma Ella didn't want to get wet, but we peer pressured her into going. I mean, if Connor could do it, so could she, right?


Then we dried off and had our photo taken by the statute of Tesla (this was important to Kevin)...


...went to look at the Horseshoe Falls...


...and ate dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe.

After all that, we said our goodbyes to Grandma Ella and Papa Kirk and headed through customs (which took about an hour!) to Niagara Falls, Canada!
