Day 49

Traveling south, we passed the sights of Toronto - the CN tower, and Skydome were right along the highway. Lunch found a handy Pizza Hut, and then we were back on the road to Niagara Falls.

A short drive in town convinced us to head for our campground and the shuttle bus. Our luck was with us as they were hosting a "Family Fun Tour."

 

  The tour didn't begin until evening so we had time to visit the playground, do some laundry, take a dip in the pool, and have an early dinner before boarding the bus for our tour.

We got to visit the length of the Niagara Gorge, the rapids, and Whirlpool. Sam enjoyed seeing the floral clock, and Sarah liked riding up the elevator in the Minolta Tower.

   By the time we reached the top of the tower, darkness had fallen and the falls were illuminated.

 Our last stop was Table Rock House where we got to see the fireworks for the joint Canada Day/ Fourth of July celebration. The kids were captivated by their first live fireworks display and we returned to the campground with two happy and very tired little tourists.
