Day 5 - Niagara Falls

Stephanie is ready to check out the falls with her Red Sox monkey. We bought a pass that allowed us unlimited access to the trolley, a movie, a discovery center, aquarium, the Maid of the Mist boat ride, and the Cave of Winds.
A picture of the kids with the U.S. falls behind them.
This picture shows the Canada falls off to their right.
A view before we got to see the falls up close with Canada in the background.
Another view of Niagara Falls (without the kids).
This was taken while we were on the Maid of the Mist boat ride.
Everyone suited up so they don't get too wet.
A view of the U.S. falls as we went toward the horse shoe shaped falls in Canada.
The Canada falls.
A side view of the water on the U.S. side.
Note the size of the falls in comparison to the people on the trail.
Yet another picture of the falls/people.
This was the Cave of Winds walk. We had to wear yellow jackets, which we were told were to keep the bird poop off of us. You got to walk up the stairs pretty close to the falls. There was one corner called the Hurricane Deck where the winds were stronger and the water blew into you making it hard to see.
Had to throw this in since it is a fun one of the kids going to get the luggage from the van.
