After going on the Maid of the Mist, Buby and I decided to trek on foot to an observation deck about halfway up ~ and extremely close to ~ the American Falls. I felt like I was climbing the steps of Montmartre all over again. Except this time in pouring rain {mist from the Falls}, severe winds, and a 48-pound bear on my hip. Buby closed his eyes and asked me to pick him up, but he was pretty adamant that we reach the tippy top.
My flip flops were slipping off my feet into massive puddles. I struggled to hold onto the handrail. Grown men turned back before reaching the top. But we carried on to very last step. Hip hip! That was another 10 minutes that I'll treasure forever. I'm glad Buby trusted me to take him up. Once we made it back down, the challenge was convincing him that his clothes would in fact dry on their own after a few minutes. He pleaded to strip down.

You are an adventurer! It is great for your little ones. I would love to see Naigra Falls.
Never been. Have to add it to my list!
