Ok most of this post will be pictures, but I have to warn you that we could not go to the Canadian side since we do not have passports for the girls. Most of the falls face the Canadian side which makes it difficult to see from the New York side.
I had to kiss my man since this is known historically as a honeymoon destination.
We drove out to goat island where the view was maybe a little better and we could at least see the main horseshoe shaped falls. 
Caleb dropped a leaf off of the bridge and we watched it go down the river and over the edge. So fun. Most of the trails and all of the elevator going down into the gorge were closed as well as the shops as it was off season. I would have loved to have gone down the elevators to see the falls from below.
