Niagara Falls!

Wedding guests and Amy's family members started arriving Wednesday and Thursday so we all met in Niagara Falls for the afternoon.  I have always wanted to see it and am so happy we had the chance.  It was beautiful!!  

We started by the Eye (Ferris Wheel) and while we waited for Amy's dad to meet us, the kids ran around until Steve took the kids for a ride).  

While the clan was riding the wheel, one of Amy's bridesmaids (Julie and her husband Terry found us).   Not only are Erik and Amy amazing, they have amazing friends.   I just love them.  

After they we done with the ride, we all started walking towards the Falls.  This town is crazy- it is nothing but tourist attractions with so much to do.  

 

 After Morgan, Kamele and I were done taking random pictures... I turned around to see Steve holding a bunch of balloons passing them out to the kids.  If the kids weren't in our group... it would have been a little creepy :) 

We FINALLY made it to the bottom of the hill and walked right up to the Falls. 

 Julie, Amy and me

 Morgan and I went to the little mini store while Steve and the boys walked all the way down to the other fall...

 It's a long way down...

 From here, we started making our way back into town to eat, explore and play...

 After a lovely lunch at WENDY'S (lol) the kids played a few arcade games

 After the arcade, the older kids took off to play laser tag:

and we stopped at a few little tourist spots for the younger kids:

 In the evening, all of the wedding party and guests had arrived and met up for the rehearsal dinner at an Asian buffet.  It had a large variety of food and of course the kids loved it!
Their fiends and family were awesome...  and it was so nice to finally put a face to the names I have heard so much about.
