Niagara Falls Fun

In July, while travelling between activities, we stayed at a hotel for one night. When we woke up in the morning, Maelyn was very upset and panicky. She kept asking about our house -- why we didn't have a home anymore and where did her home go. It was heartbreaking to listen to and we knew right away that we had better spend a few more weekends 'practising' being at a hotel before we head to China and stay in a hotel for more than two weeks!
 
Our wonderful friends agreed to head to Niagara Falls for a weekend of fun and hotel training. :) We love spending time with them, so it was a perfect excuse!

The girls' first glance of the Falls...



Maelyn did not want her picture taken...can you tell??
Maelyn loved her new umbrella. Good friends spending time together!



Our cute little Canadians!


The girls thought that it was hilarious when the Dads took a turn...


The view from the SkyWheel...


The girls loved it!
After some sightseeing, we headed back to the hotel where the girls had a fantastic time playing together. I love seeing their relationship grow -- they are so much fun to watch! After dinner, we went swimming in the hotel pool and the girls had a blast jumping in, over and over again.



Yummy chocolate treats!
Watching Dora at the end of a long day.

The next day we headed to Niagara-on-the-Lake for the peach festival. We ate some yummy food and the girls loved the balloons the clown made for them.


 
Overall, it was a very successful weekend. Maelyn now has a better understanding about trips, hotels, and trusts that we will be going home at the end of our adventures. We also got to build memories with our friends and we are looking forward to many more adventures together.
