OK, bear with me as we devote a couple of pics to the grandson. We went to Niagara mainly for his benefit and I think we were successful.

The second day we were there it was pretty rainy and cool so we chose the butterfly house for a diversion ... and the expression below  pretty well sums up the experience.

Then off to a midway for a brief diversion, again watching the little guy get totally engrossed in whatever action and motion this machine could provide.

And the glee of pounding the monster heads as they popped up was a hoot for all of us older spectators ... he was actually pretty good!

Then off to the bird exhibit which was very well done and had many exhibits including one where he could get into one of the enclosures with the lorikeets and actually feed them nectar as they crawled all over his body ... we weren't sure of the reaction ... sort of fear and excitement combined ... maybe.

And to top off the bird exhibit was this dude, who as a mammal was sort of out of place, but really cool nonetheless with a wingspan of about a foot as he munched on some burgers and fries ... realistically some fruits and veggies probably ... but Dracula does come to mind.

All in all we got the maximum out of our stay in the Niagara area and saw the kids off at the Toronto airport on the 29th for their return to Dallas ... super time as always and always way too short.
