I knew I'd get in trouble with the bellbottom comment with this crowd. I think there was probably a Toni Tennille type hairdo to go with them if that ups the amusement factor for you. I was 8 years old people!!! Why'd you do it to me mom, WHY ?!?!?! : ) LOL! Nice. I knew I’d get in trouble with the bellbottom comment with this crowd.

I remember going across the Rainbow bridge to the Canadian side and stretching to get my first glimpse of the Falls! AWESOME! Then of course taking in everything there was to see. I remember going to Ripley's and the Maple Leaf, Skylon. And a lot of walking and just taking in the view. Hey Mom, drag out those albums!! We want to see Karen in her bellbottoms! Hum.... now, where are my first pics...

Mom? Would have been 1977? We had a camera then. Mom - we have to drag out the albums!!! I'm sure bell-bottoms or shorts with white piping were involved. Don't remember much from the early years...maybe being at the very edge of the horseshoe falls and feeling like I was on a boat as the water rushed by. Maybe Clifton Hill and some of the museums. That trip started the accumulation of memories of walks through Victoria Park, trips up the Skylon, Maple Leaf Village, various Gift shops...etc. Its amazing how I have merged all those memories with new ones with my husband and treasures we've discovered on our own - Like Niagara Gorge - we're the only ones in the family who have been down there. That's thanks to Prof. Keith Tinkler after seeing him on various Niagara specials - he made us want to explore that area. We actually saw him at Pen Centre once, but he walked by too fast to give us the chance to say hi. (what a Niagara Geek I am huh?) Was I 8? Mom? Would have been 1977? We had a camera then.
