Lockport Locks & Erie Canal Cruises and more with the Bowlers 8/19/17

Dan, Cathy and Laura Bowler are in town for the Bowler Family Reunion so I set today aside to spend time with them.   In the morning I ran couple of errands for Peggy and David.  It was close to noon before the Bowlers arrived.

We caught up on news, since we have not seen each other in several years, and I showed them the upstairs apartment since they may stay up there on future visits.

They wanted to do the Lockport Caves Walking and Boat Tour so we located the starting place and went inside.  However we decided to make our reservations or that tour tomorrow after the reunion and instead do the Lockport Locks & Erie Canal Cruise.  So we headed to Lowertown and purchased tickets for the three p.m. tour.  Cathy and Laura looked around in the gift shop while we waited for the tour time to arrive.

We all enjoyed the tour.  It rained a little bit while we were on the boat, and windows were put up to keep rain out, but it did not last long.  

After the tour was over, we went to REID'S for a late lunch or early supper.  We all had cheeseburgers and fries.  

And the perfecting ending to a great day was our visit to Lake Effect Ice Cream.  It took the three Bowlers a LOOOOONG time to figure out what they wanted!  I think they liked the sundaes they purchased.
