What an awsome day!



If you have never been to Niagara Falls, you absolutely must go. It is so much more amazing than I was ready for and we had just the perfect day weather-wise to take it in. We got drenched by the American Falls, Karina was in and out of the torrents of spray for half an hour before she finally was ready to go to the next thing. I would watch her dissappear into the spray, then after a half a minute she would race out to the railing, rake and squeeze the water from her hair, big smile, then right back in. So wonderful.

Later we walked over the Rainbow Bridge to the Canadian side and got great views of the falls, then went for a ride on the Maid of the Mist boat. I figured we were going to get totally drenched, but the boat eventually navigated to this spot where the mists kind of missed, so we could take photos and all that. The water coming down. incredible.

  1. I just posted a comment and it didn't stick. The falls are amazing the power and the sound are intense! Give the camera to Karina some times. we want to see pix of you and ken on the bikes and practicing the light sabor moves. Take plenty of pix you can edit them later. You'll need them for the picture book
