On day 3 of our New York adventure we headed west to Niagara Falls. It was about a 2 hour drive from Pittsford but found it to be well worth the trip.
One of the first attractions we went on was the Maid of the Mist. It was a little boat that took us to the base of the horseshoe falls on the American side. As a souvenir we got some sweet blue ponchos that kept most of the water off.
There were gulls all over the park. Despite the signs saying not to feed the gulls, he couldn't resist and fed them and then chased them.
Another attraction was the Cave of the Winds. It was a walking tour to the base of the waterfall. Upon arriving at the deck there was a sign that read, "hurricane winds" and literally you walked right up to the falls. Melissa was a champ as she braved the winds and water and took Brock up to the deck. I took Parker up to the deck as well. Crazy? Perhaps. But hey its not every day you get to go to Niagara Falls right!
After drying off a little from the Cave of the Winds it was time to feed Brock. We found what we thought was a somewhat secluded spot and Melissa proceeded to change Brock. What happened next was right out of the movies. Almost immediately there were a bunch of Chinsese people swarming Brock. Without hesitation they picked him up and started passing him around like he was a hot potato while taking pictures. I picked up on their chinese and had a good chat with them. I couldn't resist taking a picture of the chinese people taking pictures of random Americans. Parker got in on the act as an older gentleman started chasing him and imitating him. Little did this man know that Parker was running funny because he too needed a diaper change.
We did everything we wanted to at Niagara falls minus the acquarium. Parker was beat and fell asleep during mid-afternoon. I don't blame him. We all were feeling the same way.
