Summer

We are half-way through the summer. It is hard to believe! Last night I studied the OCTranspo (bus) routes, trying to figure out how Anneka will be getting to school. I still can't figure out if students pay or not. (If so, it could be upwards of $600 a year just to get her to school!)

We had a nice get-away in Niagara Falls, Fallsview Waterpark and the African Lion Safari. I fell in love with elephants. I got close enough to touch one. Amazing!

Here are a few pics.

Our view of Niagara Falls from our hotel room

Eating dinner at The Keg. (We had no idea we'd have this spectacular view of the Falls!)


There was a dinasaur themed mini-golf course right beside the Nigara SkyWheel (ferris wheel)

Aila (as we begun our journey at the African Lion Safari Zoo)


It's not everyday you get to see that!

The monkeys would hop on the cars and go for a little ride.

My favourite shot I took of the elephant Jason and the girls rode.

Jason and the girls on an elephant. I offered to take photos, tho I would have done it in a second!

Me and a goat. He was 'head butting' the cup I was holding

It looks like you had an amazing adventure! I'm so glad you could all go on that trip together. The Falls look stunning. That's definitely a place I still need to visit someday.
And it looks like it was a wise decision not to take your car through the safari. No monkey business!

it looks like children 6-12 ride all routes for 1.50 per ride. Montlhy passes for students 13-19 is 76.75/mth for regular routes and 90.25 for the express routes. There is no $ amount for monthly children 6-12. Their website isn't too user friendly...maybe you could offer them some help :)
