we went to niagra falls yesterday... it was quite wonderful... the raw power and beautiful energy of nature..... all of man's small buildings and planning seem so small in comparison..... we did the whole maid of the mist thing and the behind the falls thing.... got up close and personal with it...well mostly soaked... then went down river and looked at the rapids.... category six... i can tell i am getting older because i did not even feel tempted to get a barrel and make my way into the history books...yes you can't help but be moved by nature... relatives kim and steve took us and treated us ... i will post a picture of them treating us to the keg overlooking the falls.... when they first said we were going to the keg i wondered if they were talking about a barrel... wondered if they wanted us to do the falls .... it was a great and they are great.. today karen is coming to take aja to a water park .... probably won't be as exciting as the falls... but at least you feel comfortable sliding in the water.....although you don't get your pict in the history books...
