Surviving the Falls

Well, we survived the Niagara Falls, no we did not go over but into the falls on the Maid of the Mist. Talk about a bad hair day and I left my cap in the truck in the parking lot so I had to buy another to add to my collection, also to cover my hair. Never a hair out of place. Get teased a lot about it. Course Lindsey had to take a picture of it. No I won't show it. Today was a day of driving as we left NF this morning drove about 400 miles to Monson Mass. We are set up for the night. Tomorrow we will continue on to Bangor MA and do a little shopping for necessities before crossing back into Canada. Going into Canada last Sat. we told Lindsey to be straight forward when answering questions at the boarder. So when they asked her who these people you are with, there came a little squeaky little voice saying "my grand parents" then the big question was are they taking you anywhere you don't want to go, again another squeaky voice said "no". You had to be there. Anyway it's getting late so here are a few pictures.

On our way down to the Maid of the Mist















In front of the American Falls, note Bridal Vail falls on the right.












Ready for a shower












Just about to go into the falls and had to put the camera away.










Down by the rapids.
















A super pose



















And finally a blossoming flower in front of the floral clock........................









It's getting late and I'm having problems keeping the pictures in order and my eyes focused so till next time "That's All Folks"

Take care, Dick.................

Hello Friends...what a neat experience and we get to be in on it too. We miss you guys and are already thinking about Alamo in October. We just got back from Ia. for my 50th class reunion, a baby shower for my expected great grandchild and a mini reunion in Iowa Falls with the Hermans, R. Smids, F. Burtons, T. Mitchells, and T. Christensons. It was a great time. Hi to Lindsay. Have a wonderful time and keep makin' memories. Lotsa Hugs, Jan & Dick
