I went to go see Siblings yesterday because Chris was given a free pass that he couldn't use since he was going to a film making seminar. It was a really low turn-out, probably due to the fact that it was a gorgeous day out and the screening was 1:00pm on a Saturday.

It is a very entertaining movie. Dark humour that made me laugh and I enjoyed it for what it was, although I think it is targetted at a much younger crowd. Unfortunately, many of the younger crowd attending the screening were very annoying, both before and during the movie. Being loud and showing off to each other and bouncing on the chairs.

The director, David Weaver and the actor who plays the youngest girl, Samantha Weinstein were there for questions afterwards, but due to the young audience rushing to the front afterwards there were no serious questions. Samantha stole the show, very talented even in person. Hopefully it doesn't go to her head. The director was very amiable and let her be the focus even though it was his movie.

The web site is too slow because it is one big flash animation. Including the trailer. It took forever until the CAST BIOS link worked. It would have been better if they loaded the trailer separately.

Today I took these photos on a fabulous Helicopter ride I took with my sister over Niagara Falls. It was truly awesome and very cool to see the falls from above. It felt strange being in a helicopter, and it was much more comfortable then I was expecting. There was no great gusts of wind and the ear-phones blocked out most of the noise. We could talk with each other and our pilot Shannon pointed out different things as we passed over them. He and Katy talked about flying and how helicopters were different that fixed wing which Katy used to fly. It was a perfect day, very sunny and almost no clouds. I could even see our shadow as we flew over on the vineyards below. I loved it when we banked to one side, because then we got an even better view.

We went with SkyWay Helicopters and were very pleased with them. They were so friendly and even gave Katy a free t-shirt since she was so enthusiastic.
After that we went to the Angel Inn in Niagara-on-the-lake for lunch which is our favorite pub in the area. Then we walked around the touristy shops. I just loved "The Silly Old Bear Shop", where I bought a puzzle and the Fudge Shop. Yummmy!

Being in a helicopter made it a bit of a challenge to take the pictures especially since it would take a second or so for Brian's camera to take the picture, but I like the way some of the shots were accidentally framed, especially "Falls From Above". As you can see, I also had fun in the car on the way back taking some photos. Unfortunately, the photo of Katy's boot didn't make it onto the CD Brian gave us?

Overall it was a fabulous day, and the trip in the helicopter ride with Katy was really special.
