Baby G on the Road - Part II

Our next leg of our road trip took us to Niagara Falls. We visited the American side first followed by the Canadian side. This was Gabriel's first trip out of the United States.

We went on the Maid of the Mist. I wore Gabriel on my back in the Ergo. I wish we'd gotten a photo of our set up with the poncho. What a sight. It worked though. Gabriel was happy to up there. On the boat, right in the middle of going up to Niagara Falls when the roaring was the loudest, the boat was rocking the most AND as we were being soaked (we were right up front) Gabriel fell asleep. The Captain stopped me afterward to tell me he'd never seen that before. Now I know what to do when I need Gabriel to fall asleep!

At the Aquarium of Niagara, Gabriel enjoyed running around from tank to tank.

While on our walk to the Cave of the Winds Gabriel fell asleep again. I think something about being covered with a poncho sends him to la-la land. He continued to nap on my back for another hour or so.

He woke up on our way back to the car, had a snack while we waited to get across the border over to Canada. We had dinner and went for a walk along the Canadian side of the Falls at sunset.

We walked into town and visited the Skywheel. While Louis was happy to ride, he refused off my lap...same thing with Gabriel. 

 Louis fell asleep on our walk back to the car and Gabriel (as usual) just couldn't let that be.

The kids were happy to get into the car and head to our destination in Toronto. It had been a wonderful day but a very long one. Gabriel slept most of the way to our hotel.
