The Epic Falls

I waited a long time just to see Niagara Falls and here it is, right here, in front of me. It looked a little different from what I saw in pictures of it, but it looked way better than the picture that we had on our refrigerator back at home.

We’ll if that’s what the boat would do as far as I could see it.

It took awhile to get to the bottom, but we made it alive. “ Here's your jacket now hurry and put it on.” Dad replied, While everyone else was putting their jacket on, I heard people screaming on the boat that was heading back from the boat ride. I was curious, “ Dad, why are people screaming on the boat that were going on next?” I asked …show more content…

“ But when we saw the boat earlier, it would go close to the falls so you could feel the water softly from the falls not so close that you would get soaked!” I complained

“ That’s why we have these.” Dad showed me his hot pink colored raincoat like he was in a fashion show. But he was right, we had the raincoat because we were going to get soaked, just like last time. When I was around five or six, we went to Sea World and went on some kind of boat ride, and splash! Water was dumped right on our heads that got us soaked, extremely soaked, and now it’s going to happen again, maybe the boat would be about 3 yards away from the falls and that’s not far enough.

Splash! The boat was finally turning around and was heading back to the dock. “ I got water in my shoes!” I complained, nobody cared but they were my best shoes to. “ Are we going to ride the train back up the hill like we did on the way down the hill?” Bryan
