DP TOUR 2011 - Niagara Falls

[RubyJeansMom]

Wow, beautiful rainbow shots Kris!
And I really like the pics of my gang.

[kriswak]

Thanks, and I really enjoyed meeting your gang. Now you need to come and meet mine.

[kian]

Kris your pictures are fantastic!! Love the gang, Kessler has his eye on you. It is truly amazing that in such a big city you ran into Linda and Del again. California for a meetup would be fun! We could meet the gang, go to the beach and there is always Disneyland! (not to mention my ex-oh who lives there, no I will NOT be seeing him)

I loved Linda's family, Tommy and Ally are too adorable.

Deb I wish you had joined us on the Butterfly tour, it would have been fun to hang out somemore. Thanks for the compliment, I'm a little You are so sweet, hopefully next time more visiting. I am still telling my friends about the trip, I even had one ask how do I join this club?

A few more pics; (I apologize if some of these are repeats)



I felt a little shy taking pictures, I wanted to get a candid of everyone. Looks like I only got Phyrie here, I love this picture of her.


Last of my Falls picture, I want to go back with OH.

[Oliver & Henry's Mum]

Kian, I love those pictures!

You managed to take a picture of our Hotel. I now realize that the fellow in the room beside me had a huge suite, and thankfully probably didn't hear us at 3:00 a.m.

That picture of Phyrie is beautiful!

Your last picture of The Falls is also amazing. I'm sure your OH would love it!

Since we were "playing it by ear", and Elliot had talked all about going to "Clifton Hill", I had to make a choice. I wasn't up to both after going to bed at 5:00 a.m. I found I have some great pictures of you, that I haven't uploaded to Photobucket yet, that were taken in my room before dinner. I have one of you and Phyrie together, taking pictures from the window.

I'll go through and upload a few more. I didn't realize I had them until this evening.

[kian]

Yay more pics!! Deb your room was so wonderful, loved the view.

[Oliver & Henry's Mum]

I can hear you saying that!

Here is one of me, and you, and upon further inspection, perhaps one of Kwak's arms :



Here is a much better one of you and Phyrie! I like this one:



I haven't finished looking at all of my "gems" yet. I really enjoy reviewing the photos.

By the way, Turquoise was smokin' hot on you! You looked just lovely.

[RubyJeansMom]

Kian, I really like the candid shot of Phyrie. And Deb's right, you are smokin' in turquoise! That color looks so pretty with your beautiful hair.

I think I have more Niagara pics, but they're just butterflies and fireworks. Maybe I'll get around to posting them after I weed out the not-so-good ones.

[kian]

It took awhile to weed through mine. I do like the second one Deb, the photo gals! (that was my 10.00 bargain from Dillards)

[Sadie G]

Lets see if third time will be a charm. I have had a post ready to go twice and lost it. Arrggghhh

Kris, fantastic photos.

Kian, great photo of Phyrie! I was shy taking photos too, next time will be different. We won't be shy at all!

Deb, what great gems you found! I too think Kian is gorgeous in that color, and to find out it was a great bargain is a bonus.

Now lets see if I can get these photos loaded again. Maybe this night that I finally had free to do this isn't a good one after all . Just kidding!!

I love this photos of Margie's friend Kim telling Del a story. We were in line for the Maid of the Mist



Not the best photo, but I did get part of the Keg and Deb's hotel



The casino by day....



And by night from the falls...



The American falls from the Maid of the Mist.



I'm going to submit then add more photos before I lose this one too!

[Sadie G]

A shot of the falls from the Maid of the Mist



This is what we had to deal with on the boat. Blue raincoats! Del's puffed out in the wind, I thought it looked cool & you can see the DP decal very well! He said he had no problem with me posting this one, I asked first



The Maid of the Mist



This is my favorite photo of Kian and Sadie together. (Except for the Sadie piddle marks on the carpet!)
Yes she was very happy to meet Kian



And one last photo since I'm not doing a separate thread of our trip. I had to share this photo of a wide angle shot of Casa Loma. I think I took 3 or 400 photos just of this place and the grounds. Fascinating and beautiful!!!



You can see the people up on the balcony to get a perspective of how huge this place actually is. I could only get half of it in my normal lens. Thanks Del for letting me use yours!!

Whew, got through that! Either Photobucket kept locking up on me, or I would hit a wrong key on this laptop and lose my post.

[Angie-lah]

I just finished catching up on the last 3 pages of this thread. It makes me "homesick" even though I AM home. Does that make sense? KWAK, props to you for your pictures and your mileage! You took almost as many photos as the miles you drove! I really loved the rainbow pics, as well!

All of the pictures are fantastic! I look through mine and the others on FB quite often just to see if I've missed anything that I should've posted.

Though I've been quite busy and will continue to be since school is just around the corner, you are all in my thoughts. You have each touched my life deeply and when I think of you, you bring a smile to my face. That includes you folks that didn't make the trip, but have shared in our excitement. Hopefully we will all be able to meet up again. As lynners said, it was natural and easy to speak to each person.

[Oliver & Henry's Mum]

Angie, I loved every minute with you, Chris and Mad! It was so wonderful to just be able to look at one another and chat, as well as hug. ♥

Elliot and I both keep remarking on how that was perhaps the best vacation we've ever had. I was so sad on Monday morning, knowing I had to leave. I was surprised the party lasted as long as it did in my room, but I loved every single minute of it.

You are right in that those who weren't physically with us, were with us! Everyone was thought about and missed.

[Mini Anderson Cooper]

Hi,
Wow those shots of the falls from Maid of the Mist were terrific. I love the shot looking up and the big all over view of the falls. I have enjoyed everyone's pictures and never took a single one. That was Bob's assignment but he flunked out.
He simply forgot to bring the cameras.
Oh well I have so many to look at whenever I want to. I love to see Deb's hotel and the Casino and all the pics are great. I want to go back!

My Kitty is still sort of missing. She is very she and loves to hide out and always has but I can't get her to come out. She has been eating so I guess I will have to go in and get her. She is over in her corner in the Family Room behind a lot of furniture that is currently stored there, while I was getting the carpet steamed. I believe she is well because she keeps on eating. She pulls this every now and then. Please Jassmine, come on out?

Later,
Elizabeth~

[Sadie G]

Elizabeth my daughters cat does that sometimes too. She feels the same way, as long as she is eating! I hope you and Bob are doing well!

I look through all of the photos posted everywhere too and just reminisce about the whole wonderful weekend. I can usually have a big shy streak when I first meet people. There was no shyness felt with this group at all!! It was all wonderful just plain wonderful!

I do think Kris had the best idea of all for taking photos, have the camera across the room from her with a remote and she could snap away! I was self conscious about snapping away with mine. Or maybe I was afraid I was going to miss something

There are so many things I think about and just start chuckling. One is Kris standing beside me and showing me when she was going to click for a photo. (Smart girl!!) I remember ALL of the hugs. And I remember a group of us standing in Deb's bathroom having a wonderful conversation. I do think we said that would be a funny one to remember!

Angie, I haven't posted the one photo of you that I laughed so hard over when we on the Maid of the Mist. I promise I never will, but I still laugh every time I look at it and remember your "beaming" smile a second after the photo was snapped.

Ahhh the memories!

[kian]

Yes wonderful memories! I still get a smile when I tell someone about this fun trip. I still look alseep with Sadie!
Love the pics Linda, the maid of midst was amazing to be so close to those powerful falls.
The trip Linda, Del and Kris took after was so fun to see through thier pictures.

I hope the others can join us next time around, this was a trip to remember.

Elizabeth I had a cat that did that as well, I quickly learned if I left her alone she would come out and many times I would sit on the floor by the couch quielty only to have her come see me. Hope she comes out soon.
