Niagara Falls

This year for the 4th of July we decided to do something a little different!  We took a road trip to Niagara Falls with a few stops through Amish country.   It was an awesome family vacation for sure.  Our first stop was Lancaster, PA.  The Amish lifestyle still very well exists, much to my surprise.  What an awesome learning experience for all of us.  We took a tour in a horse n' buggy so we could see some of the practicing homes.   
Our buggy driver.  He is not allowed to drive anything with a motor.  He may take a bus for traveling distances.  He had over 10 kids and twice that many grandkids.  

 The next morning we continued our drive over to Canada...and saw this amazing sight!  Seriously, one of them most incredible places I've ever visited.  
The kids sitting in our hotel room window!  What a view!!!  Those are the Canadian falls.    
 One night, the kids wore their "fancy clothes" for the magic show.  
 We didn't take many pictures at all I'm sad to say.  Not one family shot, but I can assure you we were all pretty amazed at the beauty.  
 We took the Maid of the Mist tour which took you up close to the falls.  We also took a neat tour behind the falls.  It was all just so cool.  
 Again, the beautiful view from our room.
 The firework experience was so neat.  Being in Canada, the fireworks right outside of our window were ok, but we could also see 10 or so displays on the US side too!  We were cozy in our pjs with our window open.
