Vosslings Adventure Part 2- Day 6

Day 6

Thursday, June 23, 2016 BEACH DAY

Today is our beach day! We are so excited! So we packed up and prepared ourselves for a full day at the beach. We stepped foot outside the RV and ran back in to put our sweats on.... BRRRRR! Clearly the storm from the night before put a damper on things. whawhawha. So Josh went and rented a golf cart for the day. We sucked it up and finally made our way to the beach at 11am. It was still a bit chilly but was definitely warming up. As we pulled onto the beach, we noticed we might be a little crazy.... we were the only ones there! SWEET! We drove further down the beach looking for the best sandiest spot and guess what?! YEP we got the golf cart stuck in the sand.... twice.... Gotta love us. After we dug out our 6 person hot mess on wheels, we unloaded the kids and Josh and I moseyed back to the resort for some rafts and snorkel gear. Overall it was pretty fun chilling on the beach relaxing and having a picnic lunch with the family. We discussed college and our plans for the rest of the trip ahead of us. We are pretty happy campers.

Aero Car over Niagara Falls Whirlpool

Today we were determined to get the the Aero Car before closing! I am extremely afraid of heights but really wanted to ride the Aero Car. It was pretty AWESOME! As you set foot on the Aero Car, you are one of 35 people aboard a cable car supported by cables high above the Niagara Whirlpool which is formed at the end of the rapids where the gorge turns abruptly counterclockwise. The Aerial Cable car travels between 2 points of the Canadian Shore of the Niagara River over the Whirlpool. A round trip is 3,600 feet.

After our Aero Car trip, we went down the road for a relaxing picnic lunch. We decided to head back to the resort for some swimming and free play with our new neighbors that have 2 little boys of the same age as ours. They were pretty excited to have some new friends. It was nice to just sit back and relax.

Awe- Daddy and Carmen

Day 4

Tuesday, June 21, 2016 Marineland Niagara Falls, Canada

Marineland here we come!! Today we planned on a full day at Niagara Falls Marineland. There were a lot of rollercoasters and animal exhibits throughout the park located on the outskirts of Niagara Falls. The little boys wanted to ride every ride. Chandler and Josh partook most rides and Carmen had her eyes fixed on one ride in particular. Everyone was in shock and awe at the 450 foot free fall ride that is high enough to view the falls and Canada cityscape. We chose to do that ride last. Chandler and I decided to stay behind and watch from below. They really enjoyed the ride and the views from the top. I loved seeing all the animals. Everyone got to pet the deer within their habitat. Their antlers were fussy and very soft. We finished our visit with the water show featuring sea lions, Beluga whales and bottle nose dolphins. I have always enjoyed marine animals.

After our day at Marineland, we headed downtown Niagara Falls for some dinner at "My Cousin Vinney's" Italian American Food. It was pretty darn good! One event Josh and I didn't do on our previous visit was the Aero Car over the Niagara Falls Whirlpool. We jumped in our car and headed to the Aero Car to catch the last ride for the evening. As we approached the ticket counter, the sign said CLOSED.... that was happening more times than I would like to admit! Maybe tomorrow...

That was AWESOME!

Vosslings Adventure Part 2- Day 3

Day 3

Monday, June 20, 2016 NIAGARA FALLS, CANADA

Today was our big day to visit Niagara Falls Canada. 18 years ago Josh and I honeymooned at Niagara Falls and revisited it again on our 15 year anniversary. Josh and I thought it was the perfect time to bring the kids to such a beautiful place! There wasn't a large crowd at all for a Monday morning. We were pleasantly surprised. We found out that the local schools were still in session until next week. We walked from public parking to the check in at "Hornblower Boat Tour Under The Falls" formerly known as Maid of the Mist boat tours. The day wouldn't be complete without Chandler showing us the movie clip from Bruce Almighty's, Maid of the Mist scene starring Jim Carrey. We all loved the boat tour! We got soaked before 10 am... our job here is done! After the tour, we hiked over to Planet Hollywood where we had the everlasting lunch (insert eye roll here). We did lots of sight seeing and decided to head back to the Resort for the day. It was a great day!
