Niagra Falls, Canada 2016


Our Vacation started on Friday June 17th, 2016. We left our house at 5 a.m. and drove to Niagra Falls, Canada. We checked into the Embassy Suites Fallsview that overlooks the horseshoe falls in Canada. The room was unbelievable with an amazing view of the falls. We slept with the windows open to hear the roar of the falls at night. We ate dinner in the revolving restaurant at the Skylon Tower. From here, we watched the fireworks over the falls and ate the best steak I've had in so long.
We then went up to the top of the skylon tower outside and watched the falls.
Saturday, we ate breakfast and then went up close to the falls. We did a lot of watching. It is so beautiful there. We then rode the bus to Clifton Hills which is very touristy and the boys went to Ripley's Believe it or not. We then went back to our hotel to catch our tour!
On our tour, we went on "The Journey Behind the Falls", The hornblower boat ride, and to the Whirlpool Rapids.  After the tour, we went back to Clifton Hills and rode the Ferris Wheel, played paintball, and ate at the Rainforest CafĂ©. On Sunday, we went to the Dare Devil Museum and the Imax Theater. Then, it was time to leave Canada and head to NYC!!!!!

Elfreich Easter

We celebrated Easter at the Elfreichs on Sunday. We had dinner, egg hunts, prizes, and sled rides in the grass!




Easter Morning

We woke up Easter Morning to find the Easter Bunny had been there and his eggs. Our magic jelly beans had also bloomed over night into pretty flowers. 
Then, it was off to mass.
