Mom we think this is your old stomping grounds on 95 Ellicot St. Williamsville, NY.
I love this picture of Sophie, she has her tongue out like this all the time feelig her 2 bottom teeth. Chase stuck her in the stroller while we packed the car. She is now 7 months old.
Here are the kids in the hotel room. 2 seconds before I took this picture Sophie was smiling while Tyler and Halle were wrestling in front of her, but they stopped to pose for me.
Niagara Falls is beautiful. We thought it was pretty amazing from above, but when you take the boat ride to the base and look up and see all of this powerful water crashing down, it is pretty amazing.
This picture of the Maid of the Mist boat was taken from the upper deck where you can see the falls from above.
Tyler and Halle on the Maid of the Mist boat. This boat takes you to the base of Niagara Falls. They give you a blue poncho to wear and I would say the kids were excited/nervous to wear a poncho. They don't love water so although the poncho was cool and we told them they could keep it, they also knew they were going to get wet. As the boat takes off it is so pretty and exciting. We started to barely feel a mist as we passed some of the falls, but when you really get down to the base where all the water is really crashing down you can get pretty wet. The kids liked it, but they weren't begging to do it again. They really liked their post card with a picture of the falls on it and their poncho the best.
Mom and Sophie. Sophie whimpered/cried for most of the boat ride. If I would have known how wet it got I might have stayed down on the lower part of the boat. She didn't really like her blue poncho, she was really tired and she got sprayed with water so I don't blame her:) I however thought it was awesome and would definately describe it as being very majestic.
Chase is about to get soaked. He was the only one of us to not wear the hood on his poncho. I would say you get sprayed with more than just a mist:)
Our family after the Maid of the Mist boat ride to the base of the falls. Sophie was glad it was over.
