We so enjoyed our time with the Sheckell family! They were the sweetest hosts. We enjoyed our best meal on the road and loved visiting with the whole family, such a treat!
Saturday morning, we headed out early for Canada.
It wasn't too terribly far from the Sheckell's house where we crossed the bridge into Canada. So neat!
And our passports and birth certificates worked, yay! Here's the actual bridge crossing over into Canada. So neat! The trip to Niagara was pretty long, and in Canada you can't drive very fast on their interstate. One of the neatest things we found along the way were the rest areas. It was more like a food court in the mall, with several restaurants to choose from, clean bathrooms, and even a Starbucks!
It wasn't too long before we arrived. So beautiful!
I don't know that I realized before that there are two separate falls. I also was amazed by the beautiful color of the water! It was a deep, deep blue-green, so pretty!
Our family opted to ride the Maid of the Mist. This is a picture of us right before we got on the boat.
Here's a picture of what we actually got to do. The boat rides out right in front of the falls. It's so beautiful! And loud!
My pictures really don't do it justice.
Here we are on our way to second and larger of the two falls.
Lots of mist coming from this one.
We definitely got wet!
Niagara falls selfie!
We left the boat and walked along the falls for a bit. Here's what should be noted about Story. She has been in a stroller most of her little life, and the amount of walking that we did was not for her ;)
I'm so thankful that we took some time to walk around on Saturday. The weather was perfect! Even a little warmer than I was thinking it would be.
Our four cuties with the larger of the two falls.
Lots of family pictures, which we hardly ever manage to do at home, so it was a treat!
Another selfie with my favorite. He's such a good sport!
Pretty Summer at Niagara Falls.
Carter. He was so fun to watch on the boat. He was so excited and just thought the whole thing was so awesome! I love his infectious personality!
Sweet Story with the falls.
And our Tilly girl, always managing to strike a pose!
We found this fountain on the way back to our car and we said YES to playing in the water! Look at those grins. Here's to saying YES more this summertime!
Sunday morning before we left, we rode around a bit more. It was very cloudy and rainy, so I'm very thankful we saw most of the sights the day before.
So long, Canada! Southern Baptist Convention, here we come!
