Summer camping trip-- Niagara Falls

Can you tell there was a glass behind Xander? It appears that Joker sits right behind him. 其實傑升後面有一面玻璃, 可是那時光線很好,所以照起來就像傑升站在假人前面.

Boys share the super big chair. 好大的椅子哦.

Khai wouldn't let go of the poncho the whole time. 煒勳死抓著雨衣不放.

Isn't it amazing and pretty? 好壯觀的景象.



This summer we decided to visit the Niagara Falls at the Canada side (you can see the whole waterfalls from Canadian side) then drive down to Palmyra, NY to see the pageant then head to Washington D.C. for the museums.

Sean found a KOA that just 10 minutes away from the waterfall. This KOA has a big play ground, swim pool and a jumping pillow that looks very fun. We found out there's a bus that we can take across street from our camp, this way we don't need to worry about where to park and where to go. It proved that we made a right decision, there were so many people and traffic around Niagara Falls.

Our first impression of the falls was: it's so small, not as big as the posters that we saw. We purchased the tickets to Maid of the Mist. Got our poncho and waited in the line patiently. Kids were pretty excited about getting on the boat and seeing the waterfall. Once we got close to the fall, then we realize it's a very big waterfall especially when you are very close to it. It would be very hard to swim under such strong currents. Can't under estimate the power and the beauty of the nature.

We walked around that area, there were many stores for tourists but all were over-priced. Kids wanted to visit many stores but they all required tickets. We pretty much said NO to every request and felt so bad for being such cheap parents. We bought them ice cream cones to make it up.

After returned to the camp site, I took kids to the jumping pillow to play. It's a very neat place. Kids can jump on this oval pillow for hours and don't see the pillow leaking. Finally, I couldn't resist anymore, I went to jump with kids when there were less people watching. It was actually really fun to jump on it.

這個暑假我們太晚買機票回台灣, 所以決定在暑假時一邊露營一邊去加拿大那邊看尼加拉瓜瀑布,再往下走去New York 看我們教會的表演再去華盛頓看華府. 我們聽說尼加拉瓜瀑布要在加拿大這邊看才漂亮,才會看到全景 (尼加拉瓜瀑布在美國和加拿大的分界,一邊是美國, 一邊是加拿大). 老公找到一個露營地方距離瀑布只有10分鐘.

一進到這個露營地區發現它很壯觀, 有2個游泳池, 一個很大的遊樂園及一個可以跳的大皮球. 我們馬路對面就有公車可以坐到瀑布那邊去, 想說如果坐公車我們就不用找停車位及擔心要怎麼走. 一到那附近發現我們的選擇是正確的, 那邊人山人海又有一大堆車. 如果對那邊不熟, 開車一定很頭痛的.

一看到瀑布的第一印象是: 怎麼這麼小呀? 相片上看起來的好大好壯觀吶..算了, 還是去買票坐船吧. 他們發給每個人藍色的雨衣, 大家井然有序的排隊及穿雨衣. 小朋友們好興奮要坐船去看瀑布. 煒勳好緊張,一直抓著雨衣蓋住整個臉. 問他為什麼蓋住整個臉, 他說怕衣服會溼掉..當船駛到瀑布下面時才體驗到這個瀑布真的很大, 很壯觀. 大自然真的很奇妙, 怎麼會有這麼多水一直往下滑,終年不斷.

看完了瀑布去旁邊的商店看看吧. 這裡真的是名符其實的觀光區, 每家店如果要進去參觀就要買票, 那他們的票價又特貴. 小朋友們對很多家店都很想看, 可是我們告訴他們這些店都很貴吶. 覺得對小朋友們很對不起, 買了貴貴的甜筒給他們吃, 稿賞一下.

這邊的人實在很多又不想多花錢進去參觀, 還是打道回府吧. 我到小朋友去跳大汽球. 很好玩哦, 就一個碰碰的塑膠皮, 可是可以讓小朋友們一直跳還不是硬磞磞的哦. 我看到人比較少了, 實在是受不了了也跑去跳一跳. 哇, 好過隱哦!
