Tanessa, Jake and Adi arrived to visit us on Thurs. night, Oct. 16th. They flew in on Jet Blue Airlines and said they had a great flight, they really liked Jet Blue. We were so happy to see them and loved having them here for a few days. We planned a trip to Niagara Falls on Friday. We went on the Maid of the Mist cruise up into the Falls, it is so fun to go right up into the middle of the horseshoe shaped falls, with the mist of the falls and the majestic sight of all that water almost completely surrounding you. The sound of all that water falling over those high cliffs is almost overwhelming. We were so glad we went when we did because we found out that the Maid of the Mist cruises were stopping the next week and closing down for the winter.
After the cruise we decided to have lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe. None of us had ever been to one and it seemed to be THE place, so we had ribs and sandwiches. Jake loved his mushroom burger! Everything was really good.

This is the Hard Rock Cafe in Niagara Falls where we had lunch. It was quite an experience. Thought we'd hang out with the "Rich and Famous" or at least see how they made their fortunes.
Tess and Jake just "hanging out" at the Hard Rock Cafe.
Addi just enjoyed running around and playing in the rocks along the pathway by the American Falls while we waited for our boat ride up into the Falls. Such a cutie!!! Oh, how we love her.
The American side of Niagara Falls, the water just coming over the brink of the Falls. The sunshine was just over the falls so it was hard to see the camera screen, so most of the shots were "pot luck" -- but this one turned out pretty good for a blind point and click shot.
This is also the American side of Niagara Falls -- with the majestic full falls and the autumn colored leaves and bushes. On the stairs that go up the side of the falls it's fun to feel and see the mist and spray of the Falls.
Jake, Tanessa and Addi boarding the "Maid of the Mist" with their ponchos to keep them dry. Addi loved her little blue poncho and would hardly take it off when we were done with the ride.

Beautiful pictures! I am so glad that Tess and Jake got to go visit you there, what a neat experience!
Good Pictures Grandma, I saw that you commented on all of mine and I'm sorry there was no erie canal post but as you know Jake took all of the pictures on our trip and I think he must have been too cold to get the Camera out because when I unloaded the pictures off of the camera there wasn't any other than a few shots of Addi here and there and they were on Addi's post.
