Niagara Falls Day 2

This morning we got up and headed down to breakfast. The buffet was really nice and once we finished up down there we headed down to the pool. The kids had a great time and made a few new friends. After swimming we headed up to the room to shower and head out for the day. Unfortunately today was a miserable, nasty, cold day with lots of wind, rain, and even a (very) little snow. Hannah wanted to hit up the Butterfly Conservatory so we headed in that direction. Jake fell asleep in the car so we continued on past the Butterfly Conservatory to Niagara on the Lake which is a little town about 15 miles from here. Despite a bunch of cute little quaint restaurants we found a fantastic little hole in the wall sports bar which had great food.

After lunch we headed to the Butterfly Conservatory. It wasn't very big but it was pretty awesome. It's entirely enclosed in glass and there are hundreds (if not thousands) of butterflies in there. They fly all around you and sometimes will even land on you. I had one land on Hannah's coat that I was carrying and Lincoln had one land on his arm. I have some great pictures but unfortunately forgot to bring the card reader. I'll try and get them up later this week.

After the butterfly place we headed back for the IMAX movie. It was okay. It was about the "Myths, Miracles, and Magic" of Niagara Falls. I probably wouldn't have paid to see it but since it was free it wasn't too bad. It was interesting and luckily not too long (about 40 minutes) so the kids didn't have too much trouble sitting through it. I think they actually might have found it a bit interesting.

After that we headed back to the hotel where we used our $75 voucher for dinner. You may think that sounds like a lot but not in that restaurant. The food is ridiculously expensive although it was very good.

The kids are now watching their free movie and Lincoln and I chilling in the other room. It was a great day, despite the rain, and we've had a very nice trip. The drive home tomorrow will be interesting but we hope to tire the kids out with a little swimming and a "fun house" here in town so hopefully they'll nap at least a good chunk of the way. If not we'll be stopping to get some of that duct tape for Jake's mouth. (just kidding....I think).
