Day 9

Day 9

Tuesday July 16, 2013

We left the Canadaigua/Rochester KOA that morning and headed to Niagara Falls!

We got to the city and it looked like a dump! I kept thinking how can something so beautiful in pictures be located here! We hiked down to the entrance still not being able to see them and then we started to walk out onto the cat walk type thing and BAM their they were and they were beautiful! Amazing how much of a change from the city above!

The bridge connecting America and Canada! America is on the right of the picture!

Carter was really excited to be on a boat! He also thought his rain coat was pretty awesome!

Coming up on the Falls

The American side of the Falls!

It was so thunderous! Very misty as well!

There was a kid who fell into the river above and actually fell down the waterfall and survived! Looking at all the rocks below it was a miracle he did!

So much mist!

Isaac thought it was pretty awesome! You dont see waterfalls like this everyday!

Grandma, Baylee, Scott, Sam and Isaac with the Canada side of the falls behind them!

Grandpa photo bombing!

Canada side of the falls!

It was amazing how hard the engines were working so that we didn't get pulled in under the waterfalls! So awesome how close we got though!

Jones Family!

Baylee and Mom! The hair was pretty wet!

After Niagara we headed to Cincinnati, Ohio to visit my Dad's sister! Who we havent seen in 17 years! I have only seen her once before in my life! Isaac has never seen her! She kinda left with her husband and we havent seen or heard from her much since! Weird how it all came about that we hooked up with her! But it was so awesome that we did!

We actually drove up by her house and they live on some narrow streets that you only can park on one side of the road so we had to flip around and park again! She was inside watching and was sad to see us leave because she thought we changed our minds! After we finally got there and out she was outside meeting us in the driveway with tears coming out of most our eyes! It was so awesome to be there with her!

They feed us and we chatted it up catching up on our lives for a few hours! We have been able to see and do some amazing things this trip but i have to say this was by far the highlight!

We had such an amazing time visiting with her and her husband! They are so nice and I really wish we could have spent more time with her but we hope to connect with her again sometime soon!

Carter and Mom being silly! 

The Clan with Nancy and Gene

My Dad and his sister! Both have tears in their eyes because it has been so long!

 After we left Nancy's home we headed to a KOA in Batesville, Indiana!
