After the boat ride we walked down to the large visitor's center next to the falls and took the Behind the Scenes tour. For that we got to take an elevator down next to the falls and walk through the tunnels that run behind the falls. The noise was deafening down there, but it was cool because we got to see the falls from behind. SO MUCH WATER. After that, the boys were pooped, so we went back to the hotel for dinner and bed. Thanks to my older brother, we had amazing rooms that overlooked the falls, so we could take a look whenever we wanted. We even made it up for sunrise over the falls the next morning!
Day 1 of our road trip was a visit to Niagara Falls. My Dad and I had both been before, but Nana and the boys were in for a treat! We decided to just visit the Canadian side to simplify things with the boys, so we arrived to the gorgeous views of both falls as you walk along the upper cliffs across from the falls. We of course started with the boat tour and geared up in our ponchos for the traditional boat ride through the mist up to the falls. I was worried the boys would be a little scared of the large amount of water and the noise that such a large volume of water falling from so high brings, but I couldn't have been further from the truth. Micah just watched it all in quiet contemplation, and Ezra, well Ezra SLEPT for the whole darn boat ride. Clearly the views were enough to wear him out before we even got to the cool stuff.
