Pictures from Niagara

An amazing falls view

Molly and her best friend "A". The first thing we did was play in the fountains. It was SO HOT they really needed to cool off.


Molly, "A" and Kate, inside the gift shop at the Niagara's fury attraction. It is a 4D circular theater that has a river running through it, and is like a virtual "ride over the falls" experience. The large rodent in the background is the virtual tour guide. Kate loved him!


Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum. All six kids fit easily in Robert Wadlow's chair. *Robert Wadlow was the worlds tallest man, measuring almost 8 ft. Take note of the 'tween' in the background who is unwilling to make a funny face. She appeased me by rolling her eyes though.... at least I think that's why she was rolling them. Hmmmmmm.....


Molly acts like a sorcerer at "Galaxy Golf". She was "creating fire" with her bare hands, and we were all astonished at her "mad skills" - as Kate would say.

Niagara Falls.....

We are home from the falls, and I jokingly say "no one went over" but with 2 adults, and 6 kids that is really kind of a feat! We had an amazing time, and Molly with her friend "A" seemed to have the best time of all. In 24 hours, our list of items accomplished include:


  • Walking down by the falls for about 3 hours

  • Playing in the fountains

  • visiting "Table Rock"

  • "Niagara's Fury" 4D experience (Molly's favorite)

  • Eating at Rainforest Cafe (Volcano treat and all)

  • Ripley's Believe it or not Museum

  • Swimming in the pool and hot tub

  • pillow fighting

  • Glow in the dark "Galaxy Golf"

  • Flirting with the border patrolman on BOTH sides. (That was Molly, not me.)
