Niagara Falls - Day 3...

We went to another restaurant for buffet breakfast this morning...only USD6.99 and it's even nicer than T.G.I.F's!

Lil' Angel is too hungry to even take a picture!
The Canadian Niagara Power Station...they get the energy from the Falls...

Some of the hotels that overlook the Falls!

Obviously pretending to be looking through the telescope...wonder if people really pay money to use this!

At the top of the Horseshoe Falls! It's a rapid!

The water plunging down fast & furious!

The Maid of the Mist going near the Falls...

Looks pretty dramatic huh? Like a BAD STORM in the open sea...

... And the ship in distress!

Lil' Angel & Mommy enjoy viewing the Falls again. Of cos we have to view the Falls everyday that we are here...it's a different experience everyday!

And Lil' Angel agrees!

Time to push the stroller! Wow...it's going to be a long walk!

Gong Gong & Lil' Angel pushing the stroller together...

It's so nice of Gong Gong to share the load with me!

Look at the mist!

WOWWWWWW!

Smile, Caitlyn!

The Canadian Flag flying high...

There were so many people viewing the Falls...

Gong Gong & Lil' Angel...

A picture with the Canadian Mountie...

Nice shot!

That's a helicopter!

Looking SWEET...

...DEMURE...

...And INNOCENT!

Arrrrgh..the SUN is in our eyes!

The lookout area...nice landscape...

Hmmmm....Lil' Angel is not supposed to be in the picture!

Pretty Flowers and Pretty Us of cos!

Close up picture of the pretty flowers...

Her Royal Highness sitting on her throne viewing the Falls...

The Fallsview Casino. Daddy lost a wee bit of money...good thing it is only a weeeeeee bit! Oh...and the security guard asked to check Daddy's & Mommy's I.Ds! They were so happy...ahhaha! After going out the whole morning and losing the weeee bit of money...we decided to head back to the hotel to rest!

Lil' Angel relaxing on the very comfy bed...

Look at how happy she is! After resting for a little while, we went for a dip in the pool then headed out for dinner...

We went to the China Buffet Restaurant - remember my cheena Gong Gong (oh...and my Daddy too, actually) who likes Chinese food. The buffet was really quite good!

The two cheena men enjoying their dinner...

After dinner, we went on the Ferris Wheel!

WAHHHH....

The ferris wheel is sooooo BIG!

We are waiting in line to board the ferris wheel...

Look, Caitlyn! That's the capsule...we will be getting into one soon!

A Kiss for my Lil' Angel...

And a BIG Kiss for my Mommy!

We are in the capsule...yay!

Beautiful sunset view of the Falls from the ferris wheel...

See the King Kong & the collapsed Empire State Building?

Lil' Angel in her "relax" position...

An artistic shot...

The area below the ferris wheel & Clifton Hill...

Bird's eye view of Niagara Falls!

Ooops...the Falls is blocked...

I like this picture! Looks like a postcard, eh?

End of the ride! Lil' Angel was very tired cos it's close to her bedtime. But she can't sleep just yet cos we want to view the fireworks at the Falls in 45 minutes' time!

Now for some night pictures at Clifton Hill...

The place looks so different in the day (compare thses pictures with the previous post)! I like the night view better with all the lights flashing!

The Fudge Store...

Characters from VeggieTales on the roof of a shop...

Clifton Hill reminds me very much of Orlando...very touristy, very unreal...

View of Sheraton Hotel and the Fallsview Casino in the night...

Illumination of the Falls. Every evening beginning at dusk, the Falls are lit in the colours of the rainbow. A total of 21 Xenon lights are used to illuminate the Falls. Each Xenon spotlight illuminating the Falls at night has a brilliance of 250,000,000 candlepower! Beautiful!

Finally the fireworks! It's Lil' Angel's first time seeing fireworks and at Niagara Falls, no less! She was very fascinated, I'm sure!
