A Few Quick Photos of Niagara Falls

So, here is the first of many posts of our adventures with Jon and Cheryl. Our first stop was to Niagara Falls. We went to the Canadian side of the falls. We were all (except Greg) very excited to use our passports! Of course we were all bummed when they didn't stamp it!! Oh well, I guess next time we will have to go somewhere stampable!!

Here is the first proof of a Jon and Hughes boys outing!! Public urination. Ok, they aren't really peeing. Jon just thought it would be a funny photo. Timothy however wasn't aware of the "fake peeing" plan. When Jon turned and saw him assume the position with his tools ready he quickly corrected him. This infuriated Tim!! He wanted to pee on that wall!! Oh well, he will get his chance somewhere else I am sure.

A view of the horseshoe falls from the Maid of the Mist boat ride. It is indescribable how amazing this is.

One of our many complimentary ponchos!! These were not just for looks!! It is soaking wet on that boat by the falls!!

A poncho photo of the whole group!! One of the 3 special ponchos!! This was at the Journey behind the Falls!! It was neat to walk through the tunnels and see behind the falls. It was very WET!!

Another cool photo of the falls from the boat ride. It was really cloudy and about 70 degrees!! It made for a wet, cold day. Well worth it though.

The Hughes clan in front of the Falls.

Who can go to Canada without a photo with a Mountie!! This guy was really nice and more than willing to pose for a photo with all of us. The boys didn't quite get the draw!! The older boys were more than thrilled!

We hit some local church sites tomorrow and then leave for our other adventures in Washington D.C. and New York City Tuesday. We will try to keep this current with photos. I will try to add More Niagara photos tomorrow. I will make sure to include the one of Brady insisting on going swimming over the falls for sure!

Pakistan Update

Here is the latest in the Pakistan adventures. Greg went down to Bahawalpur (which I have no idea where that is!) They had some field trials down there for a few weeks. This is Greg and 3 of his coworkers. One of the guys is also from here in Rochester. The other two work out in the UK for the company. Yes Greg is sporting quite a beard!! This photo gave me quite a chuckle. (For many reasons!) This is part of the "security team" from the Pakistan army. Yes the man behind the large gun is wearing a motorcycle helmet!?

Greg said this is some kind of National Monument in Pakistan. I am not sure where exactly it is located. Apparently whenever this was taken, shaving was an option for Greg.

This is the windshield of the vehicle Greg was in on their way out somewhere in the desert. Well, apparently they took a wrong turn and ended up in the mud!! The man in the left of the shot apparently is trying to help get the vehicles "unstuck". They are trying to get to the other side of that mud pit where the other trucks are in the background!! I am guessing they made it!

I believe if you can click on this photo to enlarge the red sign, you will be grateful for our TSA here in the USA!!
