We arrived yesterday at 3pm. Check-in at the hotel wasn't until 4, but they let us in early. We grabbed an early dinner and came back to the hotel for a tour of the Canadian side of the Falls. Matthew loved the Maid of the Mist boat and all the stuff the tour guide took us to. The only problem was that we were seeing the sights at 10pm at night, when everything is dark. Owen had fallen asleep on me, Liam was a chatter-box, and Matthew kept hanging of the seat in front of us. So the 4 hour tour turned into an almost 6 hour tour because of going through the border 2 times. The highlight horror show was when I had Liam in the women's restroom with me and Steve took the other 2 into the men's room and Owen decided to finish quickly and run away from Steve by sneaking into the women's bathroom and hiding behind the door. I didn't hear or know he was there and Steve was calling in trying to find him and Liam is trying to poop. It was great fun. So then once we found Owen we yelled at him and scared him that he was going to get stolen and he cried and kept trying to sit on the floor the whole rest of the way out of the attraction. Overall it was fine, it was just an unflattering 15 minutes of the Sullivan Family Chronicles. A good freak show for all the foreigners. Today the hotel is letting us stay a bit longer so the boys will get a chance to swim, since the pool isn't opened until 9am. Then we head through NY and up to Ottawa, Canada to stay with Aunt Linda, Uncle Gary, and Grammy (who's visiting them as well) for the rest of the week, then onto NJ.
