Today when I woke up I had cereal out of a cup from our hotel room and then Mom brought Lindsey and I cinnamon buns with tons of frosting from Tim Horton’s. It was sooooo delicious! Then, we got up and went to the water park that was in the hotel. There were four water slides. On two of them you had to go down on inner tubes so Lindsey and I sometimes went on double inner tubes. I also went down with Mom and Dad a few times. Also, there was a wave pool and a hot tub. We spent over an hour there and had tons of fun!
After showering and packing up our hotel room we went to get tickets to ride on the Maid of the Mist. The Maid of the Mist is a boat that goes so close to Niagara Falls that you can feel the mist! The waterfalls are so much more beautiful up close! Also, the mist was very refreshing on such a hot day! See my dad’s post to see a picture of us in our VERY fashionable rain ponchos that they gave us so we could stay relatively dry.
After going on this tour we were very hungry! So, we decided to have lunch at Kelsey’s. The food there was only okay but I did love the name of the restaurant (I mean, how could you not?). My mom asked the waitress if they had any t-shirts that we could get because it would be cool for me to get a t-shirt with my name on it. Sadly, they didn’t have any souvenirs like that for sale. But, the waitress did bring me a glass that says Kelsey’s on it! It is so cool! I love having a glass that says my name! This pretty much made my day.
After all this excitement we drove for about four hours to our friends, the Goliks, house. They had just gotten home from a vacation about an hour before we did so we just had hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner. This was good by me! After dinner Lindsey and I had the option of sleeping down in the basement with the three Golik boys or sleeping upstairs in real beds. We chose the slightly safer option of sleeping upstairs so that we wouldn’t wake up the boys when we woke up early the next day. That night I fell right asleep because I was exhausted from the day’s events! Here is a picture of us with the Goliks:

7-13-12 (Ooo…Friday the 13th)
We left the house in the morning and drove about six hours to my great grandpa’s house in West Seneca, a town near Buffalo, New York. We had an early dinner at Chang Garden, a Chinese restaurant. We thought the food was okay, but it wasn’t fabulous. Here is a picture of us with Great Grandpa:
Then, we drove the short distance to our hotel near Niagara Falls. Our hotel is in Canada. This was the first time my sister and I have been out of the country. Surprisingly, it didn’t suddenly get colder when we got into Canada! The hotel is underwater themed. When we got there was a really bad magician in the lobby doing a show for a bunch of little kids in pajamas (it was near their bedtimes). The hotel is decorated to look like a pirate ship and there is even a water park! We plan to go to the water park tomorrow morning.
After we checked in to the hotel, we walked down to the falls to watch fireworks. We got there just in time. After the fireworks we got to see the falls lit up. At first it just looks like a big waterfall (which is what it is) but if you look closer with binoculars it is truly fantabulous. I can’t wait to see even more of Niagara Falls tomorrow when we ride on the Maid of Mist, a boat that takes you close to the falls. Here is a picture of the falls lit up at night:
Even though the fireworks and falls were pretty cool, we saw some really amazing things on the way there. The whole neighborhood around Niagara Falls is all arcades, mini golf places, fun houses, scary houses, restaurants, or a creepy combination of more than one of these. My parents say it is like Las Vegas but for kids (I wouldn’t know since I haven’t ever been to Las Vegas). Everything is lit up and noisy and after a while you get a headache. One cool thing we saw was a restaurant named after me! It was called Kelsey’s!!!! Here is a picture of me with “my” restaurant: 
Also, there was an upside down house. It was really awesome! The window boxes were growing upside down and the door was at the top. The roof was stuck into the ground. Even the lawn furniture was upside down! I always thought that upside down houses only existed in Mrs. Pigglewiggle books but now I know you can really make your house upside down! When I grow up I will own the only upside down house in West Hartford! Here is a picture of the upside down house:
The upside down house wasn’t the only building that wasn’t right side up. There was also a building that looked like the Empire State building on its side. It had King Kong on it so it looked like it was being pulled down by him. There was even a taxi cab on the side of the building! Here is a picture:
