Canada trip

We went to Canada over the long Memorial Day weekend to visit our friends in Stratford, Ontario and then we went to Niagara Falls. Stratford is a beautiful town and we had fun seeing our friends and touring their town and meeting their family and friends. (Thanks Rosie and family!!) Niagara Falls is an amazing sight. We looked at the Falls all afternoon and then walked around and looked at everything nearby. We shopped and ate with Brian, Rosie, Alaina, and Trent. After dinner they had to head home, and we went to our hotel. We swam at our hotel and then went and watched the fireworks over the Falls. They illuminate the Falls at night too with colors, so pretty!

The five of us. It was very windy and misty off the Falls, so we look a mess in most of the pics. :) Phoebe said it was raining but it was the mist off the Falls.



Close view of the Falls:



The American Falls looking into New York:



Owen didn't get too close, which was good:






Me with Rosie (Again, the wet, windblown look)



I would have a heart attack if I were to get on this Maiden of the Mist boat. Everyone on the boat had on a blue poncho. When we looked down on it Owen said "Look at all the blue people".



Phoebe is yawning here, I think we wore the kids out:



Horseshoe Falls:



Phoebe swimming and saying "cheese":



The hotel was extremely nice. Our room had a window seat to look out onto the Falls, we all loved that.



After we watched the fireworks we went to Applebee's and Owen fell asleep:
