Maid of the Mist

Here we are on the Maid of the Mist. On the first day there, Dane kept seeing the "blue boats" going towards the falls, and he said he wanted to ride on one. We kept telling him how fun it would be, so he wouldn't change his mind when we got there. He was all about putting the raincoat on as we waited in line. I put mine on a little too early, and was VERY HOT!! We went towards the back of the boat, hoping we wouldn't get too wet. Abel was asleep in his backpack, and we didn't want to wake the beast!

You can see that Abel didn't really care if he saw the Falls close up or not, he was tired!

We hadn't gotten wet at this point. The falls you see behind Eric and Dane are the American Falls, and we were headed to the Canadian, or Horseshoe Falls.

Here is a very excited Dane after we got misted by the Falls.
Below is a view looking back after we left the Falls. The black spot at the base of the Falls is another Maid of the Mist boat.
Isn't he adorable?
And the monkey on my back is too!
