Balls Falls Thanksgiving Festival
Set within the Twenty Valley watershed, Balls Falls is a spectacular place to go with family or friends, especially because of its scenic beauty. Since Hayley and I love the outdoors, we thought that we would check it out. Upon entering, you pay a small fee to help preserve this beautiful site. As we started to walk throughout the grounds, we were able to feast our eyes on one of the many Niagara Falls waterfalls. It was beautiful! We decided to take a closer look and climb down to see it. (If you are going to take a closer look at this waterfall, make sure that you are wearing appropriate...

All aboard! Alright I know this is quite sad, but last Saturday was the first time I had even ridden on the Maid of the Mist.

It bothered us not being able to read some of the stones, but erosion had worn them down. We knew that at one point in time those...

There are not many places that are free anymore, let alone are also fun. But to my surprise, Niagara Falls has superb nature preservations that are sure to bring in large crowds. Heartland Forest has 93 acres of protected Carolinian forest, completely wheelchair accessible. From the mini putt course to the large walking trails throughout this preservation, families are sure to have a fun and exciting day with their children. Hayley was more than excited to take some of the walking trails throughout the site; I on the other hand wanted to test out the mini-putt game. Our only down fall is...
