Your generous donation will secure scholarship opportunities and needs for the students in our cultural program.
Who are we?
Sound of Children, an organization under St. Peter Armenian Church, was formed to serve our children in the San Fernando Valley area and beyond, by allowing them to learn more about their heritage, their identity and their culture. Most of the staff and the faculty of our Sound of Children family have been connected to St. Peter's Church through the Armenian Saturday School program.
I am the founder and Director of Sound of Children cultural center at St. Peter's. I am also the music teacher at St. Peter's Armenian School for almost 30 years. Dzovinar Ghazaryan, the Principal of St. Peter Armenian Saturday School is also the principal and Armenian Educator for our Sound Of Children Summer Camp. All the teachers, staff, substitutes and volunteers, everyone involved, have the same goal in mind: Giving our children a memorable, cultural, musical, safe and fun summer and enrich in their souls and hearts the greatest values our people are known for, thus bringing them closer to their identity.
The location of our summer camp and our after school programs is right here at St. Peter's church grounds. We have the school with about 10 classrooms, including a nursery and music hall. We have full kitchen, where our amazing Chef Aileen with Lana's Kitchen will cook daily fresh meals for our children. We have the playgrounds (front area, with safe fenced playground) and sport play area in the back parking lot. This year we will be having a dedicated sport and athletic trainer, David Kirakosian who will organize games and sport activities for all our children. And, most importantly we have Karagozian hall and stage, where our kids play and perform. The stage is where they will play pretend through the arts and broaden their imaginations, while building their self esteems.
What do we do? When do we do it?
Our programs, plans and schedules:
Sound of Children Summer Camp
We have two plans to choose from: Full time - 7:30 AM - 5:30 PM and Part time – 9:30 AM – 2:00 PM
The daily program consists of musical activities, sports and physical activity, and cultural themes. The days include homecooked meals, music classes, dance classes, Armenian classes, acting, art and chess classes, cooking classes, sport activities, water games, musical and cultural performances, prayer time, and more. Please refer to our templates for more information about our programs and prices.
Sound of Children: After School Cultural Center
Our after school programs are weekly, except Fridays from 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM and they include: music, vocal classes, piano classes, dance, acting, chess, art classes; we also offer homework club and tutoring, for Math, English, etc. and even Armenian language.
We will continue our classes the first week of September. For more details, please stop by at the Church Office.
St. Peter Armenian Saturday School
For over 30 years, every Saturday, we have Armenian Classes to all children from ages 3 to 18. Our school is known to be one of the best Armenian Saturday Schools in the diaspora with very rich cultural programs, teaching Armenian languages in both Western and Eastern Armenian dialogues. Mrs. Dzovinar Ghazaryan can give you more information or you can also stop by the Church Office. Sign up for Saturday School starts in late August!
Why you would chose St. Peter's Sound of Children camp this summer for your children?
To answer to this question, we want to introduce to you our "Mission Statement":
The "The Sound of Children's" purpose of creation is to spread the good and the beautiful through the voices and actions of our children.
Our mission is to reach out to as many children as we can and give them a chance to love and learn their aesthetics of culture through music and art. Our children today are deprived from the most important gifts that surrounds art and music; skills that are essential to their development and growth.
Our mission is to also bring identity awareness to our young generation, so that as they advance their minds and intellects, they also keep their souls in a peaceful place..
Our mission is NOT to be profitable, but to sing through the voices of our children and spread kindness, knowledge and beauty. By doing so we believe that we are involuntarily going to SAVE our next generation.
Thank you,
Sirvart Kavoukjian
Sound of Children
Founder and Director

Rashes oh Lordy Lord Kason gets one rash after another. He recently has this "rash" on his face its just red sometimes it goes away and but once he starts messing with it, it comes back. His skin is so dry i use avenno but i think that makes it worse. Any suggestions mommys out there? He also has this rash on his neck his grandma told me to put powder she said its most likely because he sweats and since he has rolls for days lol it might irritate him. If they don't get better by next week i will be taking him to his pediatrician.

text: Elliot Greenebaum's heartfelt though uneven debut feature, Assisted Living, is neither wholly documentary nor narrative, but a curious (and intentional) mixture of both. Shot in a working nursing home in Kentucky, the film follows Todd (Michael Bonsignore), a stoner janitor whose hookah-with-a-heart-of-gold shtick involves acting as residents' long-lost family members over the phone—until he goes too far with one call during his last day of work. The problem with Greenebaum's approach is that in courting the confusion between real and constructed realities, he allows our emotional response to become similarly confused. Raw footage of the real residents' empty stares and desperate loneliness pulls tighter at the heartstrings than any narrative ever could. As there's a fine line between fiction and nonfiction, there's a finer one between peaceable pothead jocularity and just being a dick—and sometimes it's tough to tell whether Todd is more Jon Stewart or Tucker Carlson.

Shayne L. van Vlerken
Born in New Zealand. After serving in the Royal New Zealand Army Mr. van Vlerken first travelled to Australia and then to Asia living in Singapore and then Taiwan before settling in Thailand.
Mr. van Vlerken cut his teeth in business in Asia as a Director of Alphamax Corporation Chaired by Vice Admiral Watanapol Saneewong Na Ayudhaya. (Royal Title) Mr. van Vlerken bought Australian Cellulose technology to Thailand under Cellumax Co Ltd. Establishing a Cellulose Manufacturing Plant which was awarded ISO 14001.
Mr. van Vlerken as a Director of Alphamax was also actively engaged within the Shipping industry as Vessel Owners, building a fleet of Reefers Vessels and another fleet of Oil Tankers under Rama Shipping Co., Ltd. and Alpha Petroleum Transport Co. Ltd. which was the first Thai shipping company to achieve ISM. Alpha Marine Co Ltd managed one of the World's largest ULCC's (Ultra Large Crude Carrier) "MV Wyoming" of 340,000 DWT which was stationed in Thailand as floating oil storage. When the Thai Navy needed an Aircraft Carrier Alphamax became the agent for BAZAN of Spain, Europe's largest Military ship builder. Alphamax has a 40 year maintenance agreement for the Carrier with the Royal Thai Navy. Alphamax is also active as a property developer.
During the mid 90's Mr. van Vlerken resigned as an active Director of Alphamax, maintaining a position as "Adviser to The Board of Directors" so he could establish EthnicEarth Holdings Co., Ltd (EE) An Internet pioneering company offering technical expertise and Web Services. EE was a major local pioneer bringing World standards of Internet protocols and internet services, website development and website marketing services to Thailand.
After more than two decades in the technology industry Mr. van Vlerken has a solid understanding of the industry, the technologies and how to complete client projects on-time, within-budget and to the highest standards of excellence.
Ethnic Earth Highlights.
2003 Quoin Technology.
Mr. van Vlerken was requested by the Directors of the public ally listed company Quoin Technologies PLC to come to Australia to take over as CEO as Quoin had run into financial difficulty as the Dot.com bubble burst, due to some rather unfortunate investment decisions that forced Quoin to close. Quoin had been successfully sending outsourced contracts to Thailand and during the period of closure Mr. van Vlerken took up the position as temporary CEO taking over existing Quoin contracts including ANZ Bank, Westfield Shopping Group, Price Waterhouse Coopers (IBM Global) NZ Government LINZ project. These projects were completed and delivered to the clients.
2004 Neurom Pty Ltd. (Australia) Mhelp Pty Ltd. (Australia)
During 2004 Mr. van Vlerken formed Neurom Technology, putting together an Australian team of developers to create software IP. After some initial R&D efforts a realization grew that whilst there were a great many groups making revolutionary new software there was not a single company concentrating on revolutionizing how we effectively acquire all the knowledge needed to fully use all the features of new software offerings. With this in mind all efforts went towards two years of academic and scientific research into "how humans acquire new knowledge and skills". Thousands of published papers were analysed and a selection of these papers formed the foundation of the "Science of Mhelp". Thus Mhelp was born as our IP vehicle. The founding principle of Mhelp is highly focused: we have set out to revolutionize how to present knowledge relevant to the 21st century worker to mist effectively acquire new skills.
Mhelp R&D Centre of Excellence (Thailand) (A wholly owned subsidiary of Mhelp PL)
Established in 2005, the Mhelp R&D Centre in Thailand is a technology development and content production centre. Mhelp selected Thailand due to the Founder's previous experience of Thailand and confidence that Thailand would offer the best value location, now and into the future for recruiting and training highly skilled technology and content development teams. Mhelp has state of the art technology development hardware and software as well as professional technical writing, animation, sound recording and video recording studios.
Mhelp IT (Australia) (A wholly owned subsidiary of Mhelp PL)
Our Head Office for Sales and Marketing Operations was seeded during 2005 but became fully operational in late 2008. During the seeding phase we formed close relationships with sectors of the Government and Corporate marketplaces to ensure that we became a "market driven" company. We also formed relationships within the technology sector to ensure we could deploy the very latest relevant technologies within Mhelp.
In January 2009 Mhelp ICT occupied our new Corporate Headquarters located on the Ground Floor of 299 Sussex Street in the Centre of Sydney.
Mhelp was sold in 2010
Bangkok Video Productions Co., Ltd.
Our goal is to learn about the Thailand Film Industry over a course of years and then to use our Internet knowledge, experience and technical expertise to ensure the leadership of the Thai Film Industry within our region through the implementation of technologies that lower the costs and time for foreign companies to make films in Thailand. We will do this by being the online leader in providing the services that are required by foreign filmmakers but that at this time are not yet recognized as being essential services by the Thailand Film Industry.
We are committed to showing the Thailand Film Industry how to market in the 21st Century as well as to make our own impacts using technology as our anchor.
Our websites so far: (We have 8 website, the following are just a taste of what we are doing)
www.bangkokvideoproductions.com (The most comprehensive film website in the world for a single location (Thailand) with more than 1500 pages of information and prices)
www.thailandflmlocations.com (The only directory of film locations in Thailand and indeed the only directory of its type in the world)

Check our main website (you are in it) on the homepage for a list of all our website assets.
Update. January 1st 2017: We are now redeveloping all our websites to new technologies and platforms that will take them to a global level. This will take most of 2017 to achieve.

Valuations of technology start-ups before investment have soared to their highest levels since the dotcom boom as venture capitalists seek to deploy large amounts of cash in search of the next big thing in the internet, telecommunications and healthcare sectors.
A study released on Monday found that the median value of a pre-investment start-up hit $18.6m in the first quarter, up $3m from last year. The figure is the highest since the fourth quarter of 2000, when the median value of a company before accepting venture capital funding topped out at $23m.
The rise in valuation price comes as venture capitalists scour the technology sector for places to invest cash they have raised over the past year, amid a surge in interest in communications, internet and healthcare start-ups.
?Investors are affixing higher valuations to later-stage IT and healthcare companies as they continue to place bigger bets on the most promising startups nearing exit in these segments,? said Steve Harmston, director of research at VentureOne.
VentureOne said that higher aquisition prices and an increase in the number of healthcare companies seeking initial public offerings could also have played a role.
Later-stage telecommunications companies saw the biggest increase in median valuation. The median value of a telecoms startup rose to $82.8m, up from $29.9m just one year ago. The median value of a later-stage software startup rose to $35.5m, up from $19m last year.
First round investments were the only investment class to experience a drop in pre-investment valuations. The median valuation of a first-round startup fell to $5.9m from $6.5m one year ago.
In Europe, median pre-investment valuations rose to ?6.1m, their highest level since hitting Euros 7m in 2000. Second-round valuations nearly doubled to ?10.4m.
?Last year?s liquidity climate in Europe continues to encourage higher valuations across all sectors,? said Mr Harmston.

Electric Lamborghini Terzo Millennio Houses Battery In Body, Sports 4 In-Wheel Motors
With a bodyshell that doubles as a battery and self-healing carbon-fiber construction, this is as far-out as concept cars get. We love it.
Smack in the middle of congested Boston, Massachusetts is far from where I imagine myself when I think about hanging out with the Lamborghini team. But however far the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology may be from a mountain road or a race track, today, the future of fast cars lives here.
The Italian supercar company has partnered with some very smart folks at MIT, and the result is an all-new, wildly innovative concept car, called Terzo Millennio. Italian for "Third Millennium," the electrically propelled machine would seem to point the way forward for Lamborghini design and engineering. In fact, chairman and CEO of Lamborghini, Stefano Domenicali, called the collaboration, "an important page in the future of the super sports car for the third millennium."
Let's get one thing straight right away, though, about that third millennium bit. The term is code for tech and design that could come to fruition in the distant future… not the next generation of Lamborghini. More on this in a bit.
The automaker has partnered with MIT for the development of advanced energy storage systems, as well as to push the envelope in terms of material science. Specifically, Professor Mircea Dinca from MIT's Department of Chemistry and Professor Anastasios John Hart from the Department of Mechanical Engineering have lead the charge, along with Lamborghini's R&D pros.
At a first glance, the results are fairly spectacular. The Terzo Millennio has been stripped to the core of a performance driving machine, with an ultra lightweight structure, totally optimized for aerodynamic efficiency, and allowing for just driver and passenger (both thrilled, no doubt). The design is brutally purposeful, similar in a way to the Aston Martin Valkyrie where non-essential space isn't covered up with body panels, but rather exposed, granting the wind new pathways and us new sightlines. With electric motors housed in each of the four wheels, designers were freed up to work with far more of a blank canvas than would be possible with a conventional powertrain.
In fact, there's nothing really conventional about how power is developed in the Terzo Millennio. Following on a somewhat limited use in the current Aventador, the team is proposing the use of advanced supercapacitors and energy storage built integrally into the bodyshell of the vehicle. The goal is not only very high peak power, delivered to all four wheels, but also fast recharging, effective regeneration by way of kinetic energy, and far slower degradation by way of battery aging / cycling.
How all of this gets done becomes the really really interesting part of the concept. To put it simply, the body panels themselves become the battery, instead of some large, unwieldy, and heavy pack stuffed in the floor. The vision is powered by carbon fiber nanotubes, batteries malleable enough to be shaped, thin enough to be sandwiched between outer and inner layers (so you don't get electrocuted), and yet able to supply the insane power demands of a four-motor EV super sports car. In addition to turning the body of the Millennia into an "accumulator for energy storage," the carbon fiber construction will help keep weight very low. That's a high tech win win.
Of course, it's difficult to conceive of a car built this intensively of carbon fiber, without some concern for the material cracking or breaking… an especially dire occurrence when there's a lot of juice flowing through it. Naturally Lamborghini and MIT are developing an answer here, too: let the CF "heal" itself.
The car is said to be able to self-monitor the whole of its carbon fiber structure and detect any cracks or damage therein. Should any fractures be detected, "micro-channels filled with healing chemistries" will proactively repair the structure. Not only is this concept rather mind-blowing, but when you tease it out, the possibilities become fascinating. As Lamborghini points out, this tech allows for confidently using carbon fiber for "high-fatigue" parts, meaning weight savings in regions usually reserved for heavier, more durable materials.
The Terzo Millennio is what happens when some of the world's finest engineering minds are given a blank slate to design the supercar of the future. It is not a close representation of an actual future model.
As company CTO, Maurizio Reggiani responded to the inevitable question about timeline, "I cannot tell you when … there are some components that are closer to industrialization than others." In other words, much of what's being worked on in a lab here in Boston will be applied to future road cars, but perhaps not just one car, all at once.
What is clear, after seeing the wild Terzo Millennio and listening to the passionate Italians, is that the future of the super sports car is electric.

By the time this is produced and sold FL will be 50% under water LOL
So just build it to be submersible.
Normally I'd make a comment about in-wheel motors and unsprung weight, but from the looks of it, I don't think there's a single spring in this car. Or any suspension, for that matter!
Note "in-wheel" motors, not "hub motors". High rpm electric motors can be made light.
Bunch of bullcrap.
You might as well have just said the seats are unicorn skin.
This is just an exercise in buzzword bingo.
Extremely important buzzword bingo when you consider how important it is to excite and engage sports car buyers of the future. Yes – i mean us young people – the future of the electric car.

Book #4 in the Vegas Mates series
I own an e-copy of this book.
Book Synopsis:
The last thing Nicole Demakis remembers was getting in the car with Sarah's kidnapper and driving away. Now she faces the cold hard truth. The kidnapper, an agent of the Council, is her mate. But he refuses to claim her, and the Council may take everything away before she even has a chance to convince him to trust her.
Aaron Katsaros was ordered to deliver Nicole to her grandparents, the Antipas royal wolves. It should've been an easy task. Clean. No hiccups. But this infuriating woman, this wolf, his mate…is one hiccup after another and she's arousing him to the point of pain. With his sister's life hanging in the balance, he refuses to allow his passion to cost him the only family he has left.
Can he find a way to save his mate, or will he be forced to watch another claim the woman he loves?
My Review:
While I thoroughly enjoyed this addition to this series, I have to say it felt a bit rushes or off from the other books. I did catch some errors in the text, no big deal, but I usually don't notice that sort of thing. I also must confess that I was a little disappointed that the bad guys didn't suffer more. I thought they all got off way to easy and much too mercifully in regards to how they had been treating everyone. I guess that is what the good guys do though, but still I wish Nicole could have smack her grandparents once or snapped their necks…
It was interesting chemistry between Nicole and Aaron, not as strong as the others, but still interesting. I enjoyed the parts when Nicole and her wolf were playing with him, trying to get him to lose it. I understand why it was cruel, but still kinda fun. I'm glad they found each other, but still my least favorite couple of the series so far.
I spent much of this book being ticked off at the royal society that Nicole's grandparents were a part of. I could not believe how depraved and self-righteous these shifter's attitudes and behaviors were. What asses. Hence my wish for them to suffer a bit more than they did. I thought the resolution of Sam and Nicole's mother was good and I'm glad that the author went that way. Perhaps a tad anti-climatic after all the buildup, but satisfying.
I enjoyed this series quite a lot. If the last book ever comes out for Nook I will most definitely add it to my collection.

Walking the Walk
Okay, I realize that the last two posts have been about the presentations that I made for Redken in Las Vegas. This will be the last "Symposium post" for a while; other topics that I want to share with you are getting log-jammed in this noggin, but I feel that this one needs to be next.
During the second day of classes, a woman in her, I don't know, maybe in her mid-thirties, tentatively approached me after one of the programs. It seemed to me as though she wanted to speak to me, but wished that she were standing somewhere else; anywhere else, other than where she was!
It was when I extended my hand to introduce myself that I noticed her reddened eyes and tear-streaked makeup. She in turn extended her hand, but didn't raise her eyes to meet mine. I stepped a little closer, took her hand in mine, and asked if she was okay.
She paused for just a moment, looked into my eyes, and said "I didn't expect this." I asked her to define "this", and she replied, "When I signed up for this class I suspected that one of the topics may be faith, but I didn't expect it to be so bold." I offered her an apology, explaining to her that sharing my personal walk of faith wasn't meant to offend anyone. Never looking away, she replied "No, I wasn't offended. I admire the fact that you will stand up and profess your faith to a room full of strangers. In fact, I've wanted to make a commitment to Christ the way that you have, to walk that walk every day, but I've been afraid to."
I inquired as to what it was that she was afraid of, and she replied that the people she worked with would give her a hard time.
My response to her was actually something that I've been meaning to share with you for some time now. I believe that there a lot of people in the world today that would like to make that commitment to Christ, but for various reasons, are afraid to do so. If you haven't figured it out yet, until just over two years ago, I was one of those people.
I feel compelled to interject something here. Look, I don't have all the answers to all the questions. I don't know that the answers that I have for some of the questions are the right answers. What I try to do through this site is share what is in my head and on my heart; what you do with what I share is up to you. As my friend Diane says, "You can take what you want and leave the rest." That being said, I'll continue…..
This is what I've learned in my walk….
You don't have to change who you are to walk with Christ.
If you make a commitment to Christ, you will eventually change the way you think, and the way you do things, but that doesn't mean changing who you are. I'm still sports nut (Roll Tide!), and I love to laugh. I enjoy having a drink socially, and every once in a while a curse word may escape from my mouth. What I'm trying to say is that the majority of things that once were meaningful in my life still are. Walking with Christ is an awareness that He is with you every day. It is through this awareness that your life will be enriched in ways you can't conceive.
No one has to know.
I choose to wear my faith on my sleeve, but that doesn't mean that you have to; in fact, most people don't. I don't think that God will mind one bit if He is the only one that knows you are devoted to Him.
Only two matter.
At the end of the day, when all the votes are counted, there are but two "people" that you have to answer to: God and yourself. When it comes to salvation, to eternal life, who else is gets a vote in regards to your final destination? No one.
Don't be afraid.
For years I was afraid of what I'd have to "give up" to be closer to God, as if I were already a perfect version of myself! You can laugh if you'd like, but if I asked you to make a commitment to God, to walk with an awareness of His presence in you, to look at the world through Christ's eyes, to feel life with His heart, to walk boldly through life with His Spirit, would you do it? Could you make that commitment? Right now? At this moment?
Now are you thinking about what you'd have to give up, or how much you would have to change? I thought so.
Here's the thing: You really don't have to give up anything, at least not anything that really matters. I'm usually a little hesitant to offer an opinion on something abstract or intangible, but I'm going to say this without question or pause…..If you make a commitment to walk with Christ, what you receive will make your life so complete that anything "lost" or "left behind" along the way will be but a fading memory.
I'd like to go back to the young woman in Las Vegas…..
She had been fighting back tears while I was sharing my thoughts with her, seemingly on the verge of losing control of her emotions. I placed a hand on each of her shoulders, looked into her eyes, and said "I want you to take a couple of really deep breaths. As you do, welcome God into your life. When you exhale, I want you to imagine all the fears of being close to Him slipping away. Just let go and let God. And by the way, it's okay to cry."
I stood there with open arms, offering her safe harbor, not knowing if she needed it, or wanted it. She stepped forward and we embraced, both of us crying. It was a beautiful moment, a special moment, a pure moment, and I stood there, holding this woman in my arms, thinking that if God brought me to Las Vegas just for her, it was worth the trip.
God is good.

Exciting. Apparently, you can't come to Toronto without visiting Niagara Falls, so that is exactly what we did this weekend!
An early start on Saturday saw us watching the Sunderland match at 7.45am (the less said about that the better) and then getting wrapped up in our winter woollies, packing our case and heading off on our first Canadian roadtrip 😀
The journey was good, we spent the full 90 minutes looking at the pretty views and listening to, laughing and singing along to our favourite radio station here – 102.1 The Edge. If you get a chance, listen to The Dean Blundell Show, this bloke is seriously funny! How they get away with half of the things they say on this show I will never know, but it has us in fits of laughter. I wish English presenters were more like this!
We pulled up at our hotel (Embassy Suites by Hilton) and Phil decided to go for the full valet service. It was at this point that I realised my husband had left his usual frugal-ness at home and was up for going all out this weekend! Now, I might sometimes mock Phil's ways with money and his obsession with saving 😉 but I do understand it really. We cut back on unnecessary things during the week so that we can have weekends like this. That way we don't have to worry about scrimping and counting the pennies whilst here, as we have been sensible on the lead up. So with that in mind the valet attendant took our car, and the porter grabbed our case and bags and showed us up to our room.
The reason we were able to afford to stay in such a wonderful hotel was thanks to Phil's Hilton Honors points, which he has accumulated over the course of the last year. We knew there had to be some benefits to spending weeks and weeks in different hotel rooms miles away from me]]each other , and it seems we have found them! He is now a Gold member, and has an abundance of points, so he decided where better to use them than Niagara Falls. I have to say I agree, brilliant decision!
We walked into our room and the first thing we saw was a big square window looking right out onto the Horseshoe Falls! We were amazed. I kept repeating what a great view we had, and Phil whole heartedly agreed. We were thrilled.
Our porter started to laugh, and said that if we were impressed with this view then we would be blown away when we went into the bedroom.
It was only then that I looked around and realised we were stood in a lounge area, with a dining table and sofas, and that there were other rooms leading off it. I knew that we had booked a suite with a full Falls view, but in my excitement I had thought that was it, so when we followed the porter through to our bedroom I was not prepared for what greeted us!
Floor to ceiling windows ran the full length of the curved wall, with the most perfect, unobstructed view over the whole of Niagara Falls! I don't think either of us spoke for a few seconds, we just stood there looking out in amazement. WOW!!
We just couldn't get over the view!
I can honestly say, I have never been anywhere with such a brilliant view and I very much doubt we ever will again. I still can't actually believe how fantastic it was as I sit here typing this. As you can imagine, we sat there for some time, taking it in and catching our breath. The Falls looked amazing, and so HUGE! The windows drown out most of the noise, but if you listened carefully you could hear the dull thundering of the water. Amazing.
The rest of the suite was absolutely great too, we had a GIANT bed overlooking the Falls and a fireplace in the bedroom, and even a 2 person whirlpool, with windows meaning you even get views out over this spectacular sight when you are in the tub! Then there was the lounge area, with sofas and a dining area at the window, with another great view. We felt like we were famous!
So to settle in, we sat there with our feet up and watched rainbows come and go on the water from the mist. I could literally have sat there for hours, but if this was good, then what would it actually be like down there on the waters edge? Well, we soon found out!
We got ourselves wrapped up again, I was prepared – wellies, scarf, hat, even socks over leggings over tights!
We walked down first of all to the American Falls. Until this trip, I had never seen a waterfall bigger than the ones at the side of the road at the Lake District, and I was taken aback by how amazing they are to watch. In comparison to the big one I had watched from the window, and could see and hear in the distance, this looks small, but don't let it fool you. It is BIG and it is strong! It looks so violent, but it is so beautiful. The Bridal Veil Falls is the smaller waterfall just to the right of the picture. It is a separate waterfall, and although it does tend to get put together with the American Falls, it isn't actually part of the large waterfall itself.
We then made our way along towards the big one, walking slowly, taking it all in. The views are breathtaking, it really is an amazing sight and one I could stand and stare at for hours. For someone who likes to take a photograph, this is probably the best place in the world. But, no matter how many pictures you take, you just can't seem to capture just how amazing it is. I tried my best though, I think pictures can describe how awesome that walk towards the Falls were better than any words I could think of.
We reached Table Rock Welcome Centre and went inside to buy tickets for our Journey Behind the Falls. This is a tour of the tunnels built behind and underneath the Horseshoe Falls of Niagara Falls. On entry you get a very flattering yellow poncho, which we rocked, it has to be said! 😐
First of all you go down in a lift into the tunnels. They are long and not very high, and full of information posters with facts about the tunnels and the Falls themselves, which were really interesting. I found the tunnels quite eerie, they echoed and you could hear the water all around you.
These tunnels take you behind the water and you actually watch as the water thunders down in front of you through portals in the caves. There are two portals, and they are amazing! The portal that is the furthest into the caves behind the Falls was my favourite, it had a creepy green glow, but both portals give you the amazing sight of literally standing in the dark, feet away from the thundering water of Niagara Falls gushing down so viciously in front of you, the noise is loud and scary and brilliant!
Then it's time to go to the bottom of the falls, and stand underneath thirteen stories (approx 180 ft) of water hammering down into the lake next to you, creating spray and mist that gets you cold and wet. This is the reason you need the ponchos!
But oh my God! I can't even begin to describe how amazing it is to be standing next to such a powerful natural wonder of the world. It made my heart pound in my chest, and we stood in awe for easily half an hour, getting wet and just looking up and around us at the amazing scene. Once again, words will not do this justice, and neither will photographs. If you ever get the chance to do this, DO IT! I can not recommend it highly enough. We spent an hour at least here, and could have spent the whole day in all honesty. Absolutely magnificent.
That was so much fun, I wish I could do it all over again, and I certainly hope to some day! I want to be able to keep adding to their guest book, and not let this be our only entry.
We came out of our Journey Behind the Falls and, like typical tourists, wanted a few souvenirs to take home. We collect shot glasses from the places we have visited, and so along with a couple of presents we had promised friends and a couple of mugs for breakfast cuppas, we found and purchased our shot glass. I also found a hunky chunk of burning Moose.
After this photograph I sang my rendition of 'I kissed a moose and I liked it' for Phil over and over again, which didn't get annoying for him at all! 😀
We decided that Table Rock was as far along above the Falls we would go for the day, and leave the rest until tomorrow. Its a great spot, and everyone enjoys the views out over the whole of Niagara Falls from here.
Well nearly everyone. One of these children was thoughtfully pushed over by the rails so they could see the lovely rainbow over the American Falls. I am guessing the other child had been naughty, and as punishment got to stare at a nice brick wall!
These next two photographs are for that child looking at the wall. Hey kid, look what you were missing!
We decided to get out of the cold and dry out in a place as far from the freezing chill of Niagara as we could find, and where better than Margaritaville!
We sat at the bar, after being directed by the hula girl on stilts, and I got myself a frozen cocktail, as you do when you are soaked through and freezing, but get carried away with your surroundings!
It was too lovely to only have the one drink, so after our first round we decided we would stay for a while, have a few more drinks and order some food. I got a bowl of fries, as it's my new favourite food, and Phil got a Philly cheese steak.
After we couldn't listen to the Copa Cobana once more without going mental, we decided to go back to the hotel to get ready for our night out. We passed a casino on the way, but managed to get home with our purse and wallet still pretty much intact after resisting the flashing lights and glowing charm of the gambling haven.
Once back to the room, we were drawn to the windows once again, as the Falls had been lit up with lots of lights, changing colour every few minutes.
Eventually we dragged ourselves away to get showered and changed for our night out. The manager's reception and the promise of a free drink was too hard to resist, so we called into the 9th floor on our way down for a taxi.
Sipping my rosé sangria from my straw was just what I needed to get me back in the mood for our big night out in Niagara. Phil eventually ditched the straw and drank his Jim Beam and coke straight like a man, however, the fact he had his little finger sticking out while drinking didn't seem to fit the butch persona he was trying to give off 😉
We had tickets to go and see a small theatre production of my all time favourite Christmas movie, It's a Wonderful Life,and I was very excited. We got a taxi straight through the hustle and bustle of Blackpool, sorry, I mean Niagara town centre, and into a little neighbourhood downtown only 10 minutes drive away.
We found a bar near the theatre and thought we would have a drink as there was still enough time for one before the show started. The bar was called Grand Central Sports Restaurant, and full of NFL memorabilia and bikers wearing Harley Davison coats. Pretty cool place, and friendly too. The beer was cheap and very generously given in HUGE glasses, and we liked it here a lot. It was a shame we only had time for one, as we hadn't found Rolling Rock this cheap and big anywhere else in Niagara or Toronto!
With the show about to start we walked over the road to the small local theatre to collect our tickets. The ticket guy was on a break, and obviously, the man who was standing in for him until he got back was as blind as a bat. He was friendly enough, but seriously couldn't read anything that was written on the tickets. He searched through the pile agonisingly slowly, bringing the paper to his face and repeating 'Randle' until he finally found what he was looking for. Or not as the case may be… we were given 3 senior citizen tickets under the name of Mrs Randell. What are the chances of someone with the same name collecting tickets that night? Turns out very high, about the same of that of a short sighted theatre worker thinking we were 3 elderly women. We walked away, after finally sorting the mistake out, realising that I need to stock up on oil of Ulay and Phil needs a a haircut!
The show was fantastic. Really wonderful. The premise was that we were watching in on the making of a live radio show. Everyone was brilliant, but a special mention has to go to the actor who voiced Clarence, Uncle Billy and Potter. He was the Canadian version of Alistair McGowan, changing not only his voice with each character, but his mannerisms and stage presence as well. Brilliant! After the show, we walked outside to find it snowing, and it really brought a smile to our faces. We had just been discussing how we were not feeling Christmassy yet the day before, and now, here we were after just watching a fantastic Christmas production, walking through downtown Niagara Falls in the snow. It could well have been Bedford Falls! Perfect timing.
We thought we would have a wander around Queen Street in the quaint little neighbourhood, and see if there were any more local bars we could try out off the beaten track, rather than head back into the tourist mayhem we had drove through earlier. This turned out to be a fantastic idea as, luckily for us, we found ourselves a corker! The sound of live music drifted towards us and we followed it until we came upon Taps Brewing Company, a local microbrewery. There was a 'Sing for your supper' night on, with bands performing for a charity event. So we happily paid our $10, got our stamp and took our place at the bar. The band were good, doing covers of Nirvana and The Killers and very sing-a-longy. The barman gave us a list of all of their beers, with descriptions of their taste and an indication of how strong they were. We chose a pale ale and got a pitcher. The bar area was full of metal brew kettles and machinery and knowing the beer was being brewed around you as you sat there was pretty ace. We stayed here for the rest of the night, working our way through pitchers and becoming slightly worse for wear! The staff were great, and at closing they sorted a taxi for us to get back to the hotel, in fact the barmaid rang one from her own mobile phone, which we both appreciated.
We had a brilliant night here, and we got to sample a little of the real city of Niagara Falls. We would recommend paying that little bit extra to get out of the flashing lights and neon tourist trap and go down to Queen Street for a night out if you ever visit, it is definitely worth it in our opinion.
Growler obviously means something else here in canada, otherwise I would be rather worried! 😐
Drunkenly happy, and shattered after a great day, we finished the night with a dip in the whirlpool, after all it would be rude not to!
Next morning, with a bit of a hangover, we woke up to find it was still snowing 😀
Waking up to these gorgeous views make your hangover not as bad as it is at home though somehow. It looked VERY cold out there this morning, very cold, but very pretty.
We went down to the ground floor and into TGI Fridays for our breakfast, it's full of red and white, couldn't think of anywhere better. Hangovers make you Hungry with a capital H, and so it was a good time for me to be a bit adventurous. Fussy eating put to the test, I decided to go for toast, pancakes, strawberry yoghurt, watermelon, tea and orange juice. I know my Mam and Dad will be reading this with pride! 😀 As for Phil, well, he got everything. He loves a good breakfast does Phil!
With our belly full of brekky, we went back up to our room for a chill, before checking out and exploring again.
Wellies and layers were the theme of the day today, so my outfit consisted of a vest, a jumper, denim shorts over tights, leggings, socks, wellies, coat, scarf and hat. That should just about keep me snug!
We went downstairs and the valet brought our car around, I could definitely get used to this, especially in the cold weather! We then drove down to the casino and mall, for a look around. I am not one for getting into the Christmas spirit in November normally, but something about being at Niagara falls, watching It's a Wonderful Life the previous night, and being surrounded by such wonderful decorations made me all festive. Not to mention the snow! I defy anyone not to get excited for Santa coming when in this environment.
The shopping mall and casino were pretty impressive, and there were obviously some high stakes players in there that morning if the stretch limos outside was anything to go by. There was also an awesome fountain that reminded me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
We then took a stroll in the snow along from the American Falls up to the Horseshoe Falls, this time going all the way along.
We walked until we were literally on top of Niagara Falls. Just when I thought I couldn't get amazed by this staggering waterfall any more, we stood on top of it looking down and I was gobsmacked. It makes you feel so small standing above something this big and powerful, and it is quite a scary place to be! But WOW it really is superb.
It is stunning. With a final look down over the cascading waters of Niagara Falls, we went back to the car to make the drive home. What a weekend, what a place to visit and what a sight! This has been one of the best weekends of my life, and it will stay with us forever. Just purely spectacular.
The drive home took a bit longer than getting there, a bit more traffic on the roads with the Grey Cup being held in Toronto that day, but soon enough we were home and warm, supping on a nice cold beer, talking over our weekend away. Good times.

On the night before, all the locals help to make the delicate multi-coloured tapestries that cover the streets on the route of the religious procession the following day.
