Niagara

Birthday Boys

Ryzen and I had a joint celebration for our birthdays with Hostess cupcakes and tasty Thai Food, which we both loved.  

Niagara Falls, NY
We decided to drive up and show the kids Niagara Falls.  Tara and I are big fans of waterfalls, and the kids showed some interest, although by the time we finally got up there, it was the late afternoon and the kids were getting tired.  

We took a ride up to Horseshoe Falls and got drenched in all the mist that was coming off.

After the boat ride the kids got pretty whiny, so we headed back to the car to get some treats.  Then a major storm blew in and a huge down pour began.  We'd hoped to scope out the area more, but determined it was probably time to call it a day.

We headed to our hotel and grabbed dinner at the restaurant there. They had live music, so Tara and the kids started dancing.

Letchworth State Park, NY
The next day we headed out to the "grand canyon of the east".  We hiked around some of the overlooks of the waterfalls. Here's the "Middle Falls."

Although we'd planned to do more, Tara started to get Mastitis again, which she had just finished taking medication for only two days ago, so we had to cut the trip short and head home a day early.  :(  She's now on meds again and is doing better.
