The tradition started in 1989, with my oldest niece, Heather. (I only had two nieces at that time.)
See how much fun she's having at the Blue Jays game?
Okay, so the ski lift and slide down Blue Mountain might have been a little more exciting.
Five years later, as a matter of "fairness" I took Morgan.
Who talked me into my first ride on The Maid of the Mist at Niagara Falls.
It would be 12 years before my next niece turned 13. In 2006, it was Chelsea's turn.
We got ourselves a little culture and saw a play at the Princess Diana Theater in Toronto.
And 6 years later the tradition ends with Stormi's trip across the border.
Here are just a few of the fun things we did. (Apologies to my older nieces...she's my last, so we kinda went overboard.)
Niagara Falls
Maid of the Mist
Whirlpool Jet Boat
Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum
Sky Wheel - Niagara Falls
Wax Museum - Niagara Falls
Fireworks over Niagara Falls
Ferry to Toronto Island
On the Island
Quadricycle on the Island
Pizza and Ice Cream on the Beach - Lake Ontario
Fishing Trip on Lake Ontario
I also take a lot more pictures than I did 23 years ago!
It's been a great way to get up-close and personal with my nieces. Sorta sad that this is the end. But who am I kidding? I'm getting way too old for this.
