As the leaves change color

Fall is my favourite time of year, so of course for the few months it is here I am out taking full advantage.

This year I had the opportunity to show my favourite Aussie my favourite season which included apple picking and exploring the pumpkin patch.

Of course fall includes my favourite holiday, Thanksgiving, which always includes our family tradition of apple picking. Needless to say, I have enough apples to last me until next fall.

The other event that is always a fall tradition is reuniting with my Uni friends for Homecoming! This was the first time in several years that we were all in the same country to attend. McMaster played a great game, and it was great getting everyone back together. 

The weather is definetley starting to sway in the direction of the dreaded w-i-n-t-e-r. This fall has been one of the best in a while with the beautiful weather and all the fun activities. 

OAFL Grand Final

Another very late recap, but a few weeks ago my footy team the Hamilton Wildcats made it into the OAFL Grand Final (kind of like the superbowl of the Aussie Rules Footy world).

It was a close and hard fought game in the rain, so we had that to be proud of, but unfortunately the outcome wasn`t in our favour. I think we all look forward to taking on the push to the Grand Final next year.

A few weeks later we had a celebration of the footy year. As a rookie, I`ve never been part of a more supportive and fun team!

See you next season Wildcats!

Niagara Falls as a Tourist

Niagara Falls is one of those places that I have been a few times, but never really had the full tourist experience. Andy`s visit was the perfect time to do so. We were lucky enough to have the most amazing weather for a September visit.

With the sun shining we embarked on the maid of the mist ride. I have to say the ponchos were just one of the many great things about this experience. 

At night we took to exploring the entertainment area of Clifton Hill. The number of attractions on one street is almost to much to believe. We decided upon the arcade and rock n` bowling. We even managed to find the AFL Grand Final on in one of the bars. 

 Niagara Falls is a must see for all the tourists out there!
