Niagra Falls, Day 5

Day 5 got off to a slow start due to kid's sleeping difficulties the night before. We finally got on the road and got over to Niagara Falls in the mid afternoon. We met up with our friends, the Blockburgers. One thing we had planned to do was ride the Maid of the Mist Ferry. We wandered down to the falls immediately, and took a few pictures. Clark and I then walked over to the place to buy tickets only to find that the last ferry for the day was departing in about 5 minutes. So we dashed back, grabbed our families, and hurried down to the boat. We weren't the last ones on board, but it was close. Here are a smattering of the pictures.








 Afterwards, they hurried us out of there (likely because they all wanted to go home), so we had to take this picture from the landing above.
 After the ride, we started walking down towards the falls. However, the kids were getting tired and so they headed back while Clark and I walked down to the falls to take a few pictures.
 That night we had Thanksgiving dinner! Yes, it was Thanksgiving day in Canada. To celebrate we had turkey sandwiches and pie. Yum.
