Niagara Falls

In August, right before classes started, we took a trip. We had to get away from the city. It was for our mental health.
Since Tyler's cousins visited us back in May, we thought it would be nice to return their visit. It was also an opportunity for us to travel and see things we haven't seen before. I think Tyler was wanting to give me a better view of Canada than I had back in January in Saskatchewan.
Our first stop (aside from an overnight stay in Cleveland) was Niagara Falls.
Tyler was pretty excited. This was the first trip we've taken that was new to all of us. He had never been to Niagara Falls or even New York and Pennsylvania. It was a whole family adventure. Yay!
We stopped on the American side. We intended to stop on the Canadian side because you have a slightly better view but we decided to stop and get Addilyn one of her smashed souvenir pennies. This is still a pretty spectacular view, right?! Check out that mist!
Elias was happy, even if he wasn't seeing too much. If you zoom in really close, you might see that his hair is covered in the mist that was coming up from the Falls. We were all pretty wet by the end.
The standard tourist family photo. It was wet so it's fitting that our camera lens was too.
Checking out the view.
A Johnson men totem pole!
Grandmas: Look away!! Tyler was dangling over the edge of the banister (and therefore, the cliff).
Elias thought it was pretty cool.
The American Falls (the first set you saw was the Horseshoe Falls). So pretty.
Addilyn and I posing by a waterfall. Addilyn looks pretty fierce.
Next we'll show you our trip through Toronto and across Ontario. Lots of Canadian fun!
