On the way home from Great Wolf Lodge, we took a run down to the falls, because really, it seems like sacrilege to go to Niagara Falls and not see the Falls. And we thought Liam might enjoy it, too.
Well, it was hard to tell. There was so much mist swirling around that visibility wasn't great. He could definitely tell there were falls there, but the spray was soaking us so we didn't take more than a quick look. Mallory was snoozing in the stroller but did wake up long enough to take a quick look. I don't think she saw much though as I wasn't really comfortable dangling her over the guardrail. :)
I snapped a photo of each of the kids in front of the falls - proof that we do educational, even mildly fun things with them, like dragging them off to see the wonders of the world - but you can't even see the falls behind them on account of all the mist and glare, and had we moved to a spot downriver where the visibility was better, we would have gotten drenched from the spray that was blowing that way. NOT good for the camera. So our trip was brief and our photos few.
That's OK though - we will definitely be back. I am a diehard Maid of the Mist fan and when we're bored one summer weekend, you can be sure I will drag Chad and the kids down for the ride. It's pretty awesome.
There was a Japanese tourist (well, hundreds of them, but one in particular) who thought Liam was a sight to see and asked him to pose for a souvenir photo. For himself, not for me. Too bad I didn't get that guy's email address... maybe he got a better shot than I did.
