This is Tim sitting by our hotel window. It was the first picture I took. After this one, I decided to try to be artsy whenever I took photos. I took about ten photos of Tim in this pose, all from different angles.
Oh yeah, and if you click on the pictures, you can them in full res.

Tim kinda figured out that he was being used as my model for photos. So whenever I called him and asked him to stand in a pose for a minute, he wouldn't complain. Of oourse, he never complains. What a great brother.

For some reason, Weebly has this weird bug when it comes to uploading pictures. But I'll try to maneuver around it. That's how I got so computer savvy. Instead of confronting the problem, I sneaked around it then deducted what was wrong from the way I snuck around it.
You're probably thinking, "Where are the falls?" Well, be patient, we're still in the hotel. This is by the same window as in the first picture. I positioned the camera just right so the sun was at Tim's eye. This is what an Ultrakids theatrical poster with Laserboy on it would look like.

Alright, here we are. The mist is kinda blocking the water, but it still is really, really beautiful. Oh, by the way, everything you see here is a complete accident. No more beautiful than a cup of milk spilled on the floor. And it isn't really beautiful. Your brain just happens to think it's beautiful because of a weird mutation in your head. In reality, it's just water and rock. And air.
Yeah, some idiots actually believe that. Richard Dawkins claims that everything is an accident, but that means his brain must also be an accident and cannot be trust. Ha. Thanks Alvin Plantinga. You da man. And Richard Dawkins, you da ape.
Anyways, back on topic.

Now this was kinda weird. I found the two shoes just sitting there on the ledge. Snapped the pic, and it looks really weird. Kinda like it symbolizes something. I wonder who's shoes they were...
Oh yeah, you can see the falls in the background.

As we got closer to the falls, the spray of the falls started to affect us. Luckily, there was an indoor passageway so you could observe the falls and not get wet. Here is a pic of Tim looking at the falls through the window. One of my favorites. Good silhouette.

Now get this: Zach, for some odd reason, was desperately looking for a souveneir to buy. He''s going to become a great investor when he grows up. Anyways, he kept looking at these weird things and Mom was going "We don't need any more junk," and then he came upon this unique souveneir: a bottle of water from Niagara Falls.
Whoa. I so want one. But I would really want someone to verify that the water is actually from the falls and not some tap water from the Niagara Faucet.
Happy ending: Zach didn't buy the water.

Happy ending number two:  Zach did get some water from Niagara Falls when we hiking the next day. For free.
Now look at the two pictures and compare two things: the size of the water bottle and the expression on Zach's face.

This is when we went to the Cave of the Wind. It puzzled me because there the cave was just a short thing that led to elevator and the wind was not in the cave but at the falls.  The fun part was that Dad and I got to stand right under the Falls. Too bad there's no pic of that; the camera would have gotten wet. In fact, this was the closest the camera could get without getting doused.

Finally,  a nice unclouded shot of both Falls. The American Falls and the Horseshoe Falls.
Let me say it again: all of this is not as pretty as it seems. Your brain has this weird mutation which makes it think it is beautiful...

On our second to last day we went hiking (where Zach got his prized water...where is that thing anyway? Katie drank it! Oh no!) The first half included a bunch of rock steps in which Tim is posed, and a nature trail where Dad did a stunning swing from a tree branch and nearly landed on his back. I have a video.

Well, that's all for now. Would say something more grand at the end of this grand trip...but nothing's coming to mind except for the words I'm writing right now. It was grand, I'll end with that. :)
