OntarioCanada/Niagara Falls Trip!

On Friday, July 27th we got up at 4am and headed out to Ontario, Canada (about 30 minutes over the border) to see our friend Heather! She got married earlier in the summer and since we were sad we missed her wedding, we decided to go to her reception in Ontario. Initially it was supposed to be a surprise, but we had to tell her a month in advance to make sure they would have the time to hang out with us when we were there.

It was a really short trip (we headed home on Sunday evening) and it was about 7 hours one way, so there was a ton of driving. But Auralia was a champ and we were glad we did it. On Sunday, we stopped in Niagara Falls and did all of that- it was amazing! I was surprised at how much I liked it. Tyron was awesome and researched it beforehand, which helped. Viewing it from the Canadian side is the only way to go. The views are much more spectacular. We did the Maid of the Mist boat ride- would definitely recommend that as well! Auralia didn't love the noise of running water- probably reminded her of the bath which she doesn't like. But she snuggled up to Tyron in her little baby rain poncho and sucked on her soother and was fine. Here's some pictures of our trip:

Tyron loves swimming so at 9am he wakes up and decides to take a swim with Auralia in the hotel pool. It was way too cold for me, but Auralia enjoyed it. She doesn't like baths even though there is little water and it's warm and there are toys, but she didn't mind the lifejacket & cold water at the pool- go figure!

We loved seeing Heather & Lyle! We wished we could have had more time to spend with them one-on-one; but life is what it is and so we appreciated the time we did get with them. It made us really miss our old life of having many good friends who we could spend time with- we really are loners in New York.

Niagara Falls! I had no idea there were 2 falls there! The famous horseshoe one (Canadian Falls) and a regular one (American Falls). You can see a Maid of the Mist boat going into the mist- it was a really fun ride!!

Auralia all ready for the boat ride in her baby sized poncho- so cute!
