What an adventurous weekend we had. Last Saturday we spent the day at Niagara Falls. It was amazing. My parents came up from Colorado and we road tripped it to upstate New York.
We took a great tour that started at the Cave of the Winds, where you can see us walking on the red decks that take you up to the base of the falls on the American side. The park service provided yellow ponchos and also rubbery sandals to wear. After a elevator ride to the bottom, we started on our way. The Hurricane Deck was crazy. M and L were brave and got right into the pouring water while D and I stood off to the side (still getting drenched of course) capturing pictures. We saw lots of rainbows in the falls, lots of water, seagulls and waves.

Then our tour guide took us over to a whirlpool, to see where the water goes out to the ocean. 
Our poncho model.
Last but not least, was our fantastic ride on the Maid of the Mist. Decked out again, but in blue ponchos this time, we boarded the ship to take us right up next to the falls. First past the American side, than the Canadian side. Feeling the sheer power and spray of those falls was truly amazing. It was quite the experience. 
After that we headed up to another look out spot, this is where we were standing out over the water. Definitely a fun and tiring day.
