Family Trip to Niagara Falls

In January, we purchased a Groupon Getaway for a hotel in Niagara Falls on the Canada side!  We gathered our passports.  I put together a basket of goodies to keep Connor entertained and he took an 8 hour drive to Canada.  This trip was on our bucket list for things to do while we lived in New England and we excited that we were finally able to make it happen!

Connor was so excited to be able to stay in a hotel and see a waterfall that is bigger than his house!

Going in the winter was perfect for our family because we love the cold and snow and anything icy.  The falls did not disappoint.  It snowed the night we arrived and it was just beautiful all around.  The mist from the falls makes everything a little icy which in my opinion makes it look that much better.

It was hard to pick which pictures to post, but I hope you enjoy!

Above - is a view of the Niagara Falls.  The mist is so intense that it is really hard to see the entire horseshoe of the waterfalls at one time!

Above - this is the view from down at the base of the falls!  

There was always a rainbow (or two!) to be see from the falls when the sun was out! 

 This was behind the water in the falls.  They had tunnels were you could go behind and see the water rushing in front of you!

See...doesn't ice make everything that much prettier!

 We were able to eat on the 9th floor of a hotel and were finally able to see the entire horseshoe from there!  Just amazing!!
