In June, we were blessed by Brian's parents with a trip to Niagara Falls and Lake Ontario, NY. I could have moved there - it was so beautiful. Toby calls it "My Agara Falls" and when he sees a picture of any waterfall - big or small - he says -
"Look Mommy, MiAgara Falls. We went there and we went to the Canadian side."
We stayed in this fantastic B&B in Fairhaven, NY - right on the lake. It was a great vacation! Here are a few pics. from our trip with Grandma and Grandpa.
First time on a train! Toby loved this - especially since he "gets the yuckys" (carsick) when we drive anywhere with any curves in the road. Our train left from Albany, NY and 6.5 hrs. later we were in Niagara. After 4 hours Toby said "I don't want to be on the train anymore." I offered for him to watch "Cars" and we were good for the rest of the time. I'm now a huge fan of train travel.
This one's on the "Maid of the Mist" (of Bruce Almighty). We were soaked from the mist of the falls - and it was fantastic. Toby would tell everyone how he got wet on the boat.
The Mighty Falls from down below. We went 100 ft. (?) down an elevator to the "Cave of the Winds" and walked below the falls. The catwalks (next pic.) go as close as you can get to the base of the falls. The last section you can go up to the "Hurricane Deck" - Brian brought Toby up and he loved it - and so did we. Seeing Toby enjoy nature the way he does is a joy.
That's us in the evening on the Canadian side. I hope we can go back again and spend more time there. Perhaps next time we won't have to be detained by border patrol before we get back to the U.S. side. It was beautiful!
