Cherry Babies

Mark and I are holding Little Luke and Jack (who is the bigger brother). The boys are about a week old here. These cute little boys belong to our dear friends, Janet and Jon Cherry.

Fort Niagara

We went on a tour of Ft. Niagara. The French were here, the British were here, the Canadians were here, and the Americans tried to get it too--but things didn't work out....so Thomas Jefferson never got his piece of Canada.

Journey Behind the Falls

Here's Jacque trying to hold her own against the forces of nature on the deck of Journey Behind the Falls. July 8, 2008

Inside the caves at Lockport

We went on an interesting tour through the Caves of Lockport. While the Erie Canal was very important for transportation, it was also important for providing power to a few businesses. This underground tunnel, or cave adjacent to the Canal took 10 years to build. A train track is above us, and they say they have never heard it pass. We're glad we didn't have to pick ax and dynamite our way through!

Lockport, NY

We visited Lockport, New York along our way. We didn't ride on the boat, but watched it pass through the locks. It was very interesting to see how the locks can raise and lower the water levels so quickly!

Niagara Falls, Canada

We (Mark, Lexy and Jacque) went to Niagara Falls July 7 and 8, 2008. We stayed at the
Marriott Hotel overlooking Horseshoe Falls on the 23rd Floor.
What a beautiful view we had. The weather was just perfect too!
