April 7, P.M., Second Day in Canada

After the kids had their fun in the pool we were finally able to head to the falls to see what we came for. The first picture is the American Falls. You are looking directly at New York while standing in Canada. My kids thought that was interesting. Next are the Horseshoe falls which are truly amazing.

The water falls with such force. It falls 170 feet and the depth of the water below is 180 feet.

I took a lot of pictures but the weather was awful. It wasn't raining but the wind was blowing and this caused the water from the falls to spray everywhere. It was also very cold. We could only handle being out next to it for around 20 minutes and our hair and faces would be drenched and then frozen.

There was so much moisture in the air that my camcorder gave me an error message and then wouldn't work again for 24 hours. That was disappointing and so were my pictures. I had all intentions on printing a big print for our home but we decided that we would have to go back when the weather was better. We also need more time to allow for bad weather.

Whenever we were froze and couldn't take it anymore, we went inside the visitor's center where they had multiple floors of small shops. Cam is waiting for us at the top of the escalator. Doesn't he look thrilled? I think he is pretending not to know his goofy acting parents who are approaching him.

He thought we were being weird. I was recording Terry and he was taking a picture of me as we rode the escalator up to the top floor. (Sometimes the adults need to have a little fun too)Here is Tara's prize of the day. She bought a little bag of Niagara Fall rocks.
