Toronto, Day 3

So, here we go for Day 3.  I know these vacation pictures are getting a bit monotonous, but I need documentation for the blog book.  Here is Day 3 in Toronto....heading to Niagara!  We got smart by Day 3 and Mohamed ran across the street to Tim Horton's solo to bring breakfast back to the hotel rather than having the crazy, untamed monkeys going wild at the restaurant.  Emmersyn loved her bagel with cream cheese.


I love this picture of her eating.  She is soooo happy when she is around food!


Cameron is more like me when it comes to food.  We go for the simple things.  A toasted plain bagel.


Mohamed was content with his large, double, double.


This was my first time to see the falls, and I was amazed.  I loved the falls.  It is definitely a spectacular site. I still have to look up where all that water "falls" into.  I think Steve mentioned it might flow into the Atlantic Ocean.  Wow!  Wouldn't that be fascinating.  I'll do some research.


Cute picture of Cameron.


Here is an attempt at getting the cousins together.


Another attempt with all of the cousins.


Simply amazing....


Cameron was also fascinated by the falls.


Here Mohamed was trying to capture us all walking to get to the Maid of the Mist....


Still walking, and walking, and walking.  It was a bit of a hike!


We made it to the Maid of the Mist and were given our ponchos, or as Cameron called them, our garbage bags.


Gabby was a bit hot in her garbage bag, so Nicole took it off while we waited our turn to get onto the boat.


Emmersyn on the other hand, loved her garbage bag!


And, Amanda doesn't look too bothered either with her garbage bag.  Look at that bright smile!  I love it!


And, this is why we needed these cool garbage bags....






So, after we were all drenched because the garbage bags do nothing when you are right up to the falls, the kids decided they wanted to go into a mirror maze.  Nicole and I joined them.  It was so funny.  The goal was to find your way out, obviously.  Cameron at one point uttered, "I think we are lost."  All you do is basically go around in circles bumping into your own reflection in mirrors.



While we were in the house of mirrors, this is what Emmersyn had decided to do...Sleep!  After the maze of mirrors, the kids chose to go into a haunted house.  I didn't get any pictures of the haunted house, and it was Steve and Mohamed's turn to go in with the kids.  From what we heard, it wasn't that great.


Here are some pictures at the end of the day on our long walk back to the car.



Here is the attempt at getting us all together.



Great picture of the guys.



That's it for Day 3.  Our final day in Toronto will be coming soon!

  1. You did such a great job capturing memories of this trip. I can't believe you got so many photos on the Maid of the Mist. I was holding Gabby and trying not to get my camera soaked so I didn't get any photos. I'll need to copy a few of them. AWESOME! Can't wait to see day 4!

  2. What great pictures you captured. It was great to see all of you in the various photos.
    It's been a long time since Dad and I have been to Niagra Falls; maybe we should revisit the Falls one day.
    Looking forward to your next blog.

  3. Nicole, I tried to take a picture of the picture that we got of all of us together, but it didn't work out. I don't know how to scan it into the computer. I'm leaving that picture for you to blog.

    And mom, you should definitely take a trip. You would enjoy all the walking and the scenery is beautiful. Hop in the car and start driving.
