The 2 kiddos at the airport. They were surprisingly well behaved that day even though they need to wake up at 5am to catch the flight. Pictures taken at the Niagara Falls State Park in US. The trees along the river were in a mix of green, orange, red, yellow, brown... so beautiful. The bridge in the background is the Rainbow bridge that links to Canada.
This is the American fall on the US side. The one further in the background (you can only see the mist) is the horseshoe fall.One of the highlight of the park is the maid of the mist boat tour. The boat will bring you real close to the waterfalls. It became too close of comfort nearer to the falls coz we were trying to protect the kids from the water and strong winds. The ponchos did help but still our feet were drenched at the end of the ride. Watch the 2 videos below :
We also drove over to the Canadian side to take a look at the falls. Parking cost 20USD! but it's worth it coz watching the horseshoe fall from the Canadian side is spectacular.
Another highlight of the trip is the Caves of the winds walk. You literally walk next to the falls. There are steps which lead right up to a section of the waterfall. Amber was terrified after trying on the yellow poncho and in the end Shoumin and myself took turns to bring Aedan there while the other look after Amber. That boy was brave! We walked right up to the waterfall. You will feel the water splashing down onto you at the very top platform of the steps. My feet were numbed walking through that becoz of the cold water and yet this boy was soooo excited. He asked to go up again so i had to do it twice. When it was Shoumin's turn, the water was almost knee deep at the top platform and Aedan made him do it twice too! He had so much fun there while we were shivering in cold.
Btw we actually let the children put on their snow suits.. cute right? haha....
