Niagara Falls





When we arrived in Niagara Falls, Ontario it was midnight their time. Everyone was walking back to their hotels from the Falls because they had just turned off the lights that illuminate the falls when it's dark. So we checked into our hotel and were all asleep within 30 minutes. The kids were excited that we were in a different country. We explained to them the next morning about the 7 Wonders of the World and that ONE of the Wonders was in that town we were staying in. We told them to be on the lookout as we walked through the town to see if they can figure out what the Wonder would be. They kept pointing to stuff asking, "is that it?" Then we starting getting a breeze of moisture so I knew we were getting close. When we came to the top of the hill and you can see the Falls in the distance, the kids were amazed and knew they had found it. I was impressed that Austin instantly asked if that was Niagara Falls.

Was that the surprise that you couldn't say when we were talking on the phone? What was my clue that is something I'm good at? Falling down? I don't get it?
