The Canadian Thanksgiving was Monday. This was very strange for us. I asked someone what do they actually celebrate? We, as Americans, celebrate the Pilgrims and Plymouth Rock and all of that. I was told that it is more a celebration of harvest. It really isn't as big here as it is in the States, but they do close everything down and take the long weekend. We had a family group in, the last of our sponsored groups for the year. They all left early Monday afternoon, so we decided we needed to do something to commemorate our first official Holiday in Canada, so we decided to head for Niagara Falls. Ken and I were there when we were here in June, But Katie hadn't been there yet. It was a little rainy and very cold, but we jumped out to get a few photos.
Katie thought it would be neat to go to "New York" for Dinner, so we crossed over the border and found a little fish place, "Dug's Dive" in Buffalo. It turned out that it was the last night of the season, so our timing was good, and it was very good food! It was a nice evening, but took a while to get back across the border because, evidently, other Canadians had the same idea for Thanksgiving!

I want to go to Niagra Falls someday. We'll have to come visit. Dug's Dive... now that is a god name for an eatery. Looks like a good time!
Wow! You guys look cold. Katie is taller than you. I hope you guys, unlike the first Pilgrims, survive your first winter and don't freeze to death.
