Last of CT Pics and Niagara Falls

One of the days in Mystic, we stopped right next to the drawbridge for ice cream. Here's Alexander with Nana.

Daddy and Glenn

On the day we left Mystic, the boys and their cousin were watching tv together. Apparently they were comfortable because they stayed this way for a while.

Cubby found a cozy spot in the bag on top of our cooler.

Niagara Falls

We drove up to Niagara Falls on Alexander's birthday. We stayed on the American side. We walked all around Goat Island. It is an island in the middle of the Niagara River just before the falls. We found out that it was called Goat Island because a lone goat was found on the island. We thought it might have fallen into the river and came upon the island, getting out of the river. Then it lived there alone.

When we got to the falls, the mist was thick and we couldn't see much of the Horseshoe Falls. Here in the foreground is the edge closest to Goat Island and through the mist you can make out the other side of the horseshoe. Later, after our walk, we could see more of the horseshoe, but still not all of it.

This is a view from on top of the hill from where I was standing in the previous picture.

We ate at a grill that overlooked the falls. Here's the birthday boy!!!

The humidity and wind in the air messed with Glenn's hair. :)

Here's a smaller island right next to Goat Island. They are in the middle of a project to add landscaping and slate walkways. It looks really nice.

We camped on a larger island up river called Grand Island. The next day, we went to Indianapolis. We camped there two nights. During the day, Bob went to an office to train on some equipment that he had purchased (something to do with liquid oxygen tanks). The boys and I spent the day at the campground. In the morning, we took a ride on some fun bikes. We rented one with two seats side-by-side and two steering wheels. Then we got another bike that was even lower to the ground and had a steering wheel. Unfortunately, I did not think to get a picture of this. They also had a nice playground and dog park. Then we went swimming and pet a horse. After that, the thunder rolled in and we were stuck most of the afternoon in the camper. But we did get another swim in before supper (while I did laundry).
