Niagra Falls Times Two

Trip with family versus trip with youth group! It has been said that sometimes going to a place twice will give you the full effect.  It is also known that going with friends and going with your family can be a completely different experience. I went to Niagra Falls twice within one month.

The first trip was with my youth group.  We staying in New York in a local church.  The boys slept in the classrooms in the basements and the girls slept in the sanctuary on the pews.  On the first night one of the lights blew up and started smoking causing the girls to run down stairs  were the boys were.

After that the trip was un eventful except for the fact that on of my friends almost fell over the railing and down the falls.  We crossed over to the Canada side to get the full experience and see the falls from a different angle.

While on the trip with my family we stayed on the Canada side because it was cheaper.  My brothers and I crossed over the country line hundreds of times just to say we have been out of the country a lot. Even though I was just there to visit seeing it with friends was and adventure.  Seeing it with my family had a more historical value.

Life Lesson #7: Going to a place with friends tends to be more fun than going with family.
