Reflection

After the boat tour me, Kallista, Hannah, Holly, and Lucas went to Tim Horton's to eat lunch since the restaurant we were originally planning to go to was closed (Mama Mia's). After lunch, we walked round deciding on what to do when we came to the Guinness world records where we took pictures and did a quick walk around. Afterwards, we walked into the fun house (arcade) and then were planning to play there for awhile until I suggested that we go to the midway (also an arcade) because I knew that it was bigger and consists of more games so, we walked there and bought 40 tokens to share amongst each other. we played at the midway until we ran out of tokens, and we then cashed in our tickets for a couple thing each of our choice and two things that we would pass around to keep for a week in our locker; which was a panda fan and a moose. Lastly, before returning to the bottom of Clifton hill (meet up area) we went into a treat shop and got a couple of things, I got a bag of cotton candy and so did Kallista. We walked back to the bottom of Clifton hill which was the conclusion of the Niagara trip. I very much enjoyed this trip and so did my friends, it was a fun day; as was expected.
