Niagara Finale

Finale at the Falls

Overlooking the Falls- Notice the Space Needle in the background- We ate dinner there that night...

Canadian Close-up of the Falls

Remember the movie BIG- We found Zoltar and made a wish...

What a view from the Observation Deck 

Niagara River Walk

Niagara River Walk

We took an elevator down a few hundred feet- and came out into a tunnel and cave to get close to the river- Brad and Oli had a great time making scary noises in the tunnel, much to the delight of the other tourists

 The call them Class 6 Rapids- only a few have survived- but it was soooo tempting to give it a try..

Poor Oli was not feeling well by this point- too many wild rides- 

Adventure Pass

Aero Car across the Niagara River

Our Adventure pass got us into 4 events- unfortunately the "walk behind the falls" was out of order, so we opted for the Aero car- (cable car) across the river.

 I wanted to try the speedboat...

Niagara Falls, Canada

Arriving at Niagara Falls in the evening after a grueling by the Canadian Border Patrol

Fireworks at the Falls.  It was so misty we could hardly see the Falls, but the seagulls went crazy when the fireworks started. There were hundreds of them down by the waterfalls.

Up close and personal with the Falls! A drenching experience!

Kirkland

Kirkland

Brad and I picked up Christine and Oliver in Pittsburgh and traveled to Kirkland Ohio.  We visited the Kirkland Temple and the Whitney Store. The RLDS (Community of Christ) own the Kirkland Temple and give tours for $3.  The Temple has been well preserved and their tour guides give an interesting version of historical events in Kirkland.  Our church owns the N.K Whitney store, Ashery and Saw Mill.  There is a Visitors Center 

where tours are given by the missionaries.
