Double Rainbows and a leprechaun??!

Is it lunchtime yet???
"Mommy, we're out of carrots and granola bars!!"

After hiking throughout Niagara Falls and Goat Island we decided to take a lunch break on Goat Island.
There's a cute little restaurant at the top of the Horseshoe Falls called Top of the Falls.

Do you remember we were at the Top of the Rock a few days ago and today we're Top of the Falls.


Can you believe this was the view from our table...... WOW!!
After a pleasant air conditioned lunch with a phenomenal view we were up for another adventure, so we decided to board the Maiden of the Mist for a ride up close to the falls.
 It was very reasonable for a boat trip.(about the cost of a movie night)



"We're ready for our Maid of the Mist voyage"
The Maid of the Mist was a 30 minutes ride on a double decker boat that took us 170 feet below the brink of all the Falls and back. 
They provided us with the raincoats because on this ride you will get wet drenched!!

The water hits the rocks with unbelievable force!

Cookie was so excited to see the rainbow and she was sure that the treasure was under those rocks in the water.


Isn't this the most beautiful shot of the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls taken by Bam.

This was probably how our boat looked headed toward the Falls from above.

Unbelievable refreshing! Now where is that leprechaun?

Bon Voyage Maid of the Mist

Cookies thinks she spies a leprechaun!
No Cookie, that is not the illusive leprechaun!!

My pride and joy with smiles on their faces and feeling tired after a long day of chasing rainbows with Mommy.

At days end, we had a beautiful view of Niagara Falls fireworks and full illumination. 
Although, due to full memory card in camera all we can offer is stock footage.
 And believe us when we tell you it was more amazing looking than these photos below....
Can you taste the rainbow? Yes you can!!
