Summer with the Kids

Our road trip with the kids this summer included all 6 of them. It was wonderful to have Jack well enough to join us. We went to Cedar Beach CG in Stouville, Ontario for the week. It was a perfect park for us as it had a sandy beach on Lake Musselman, two pools and a splash pad. We took the kids to the Ontario Science Center in Toronto on Monday and Thursday. Ty was a little bored the second day but was a trooper enjoying the younger kids having fun. Tuesday we went to Canada's Wonderland for the day. Both attractions were only 30 min from where we were camping. The kids loved Wonderland. It rained late in the day so we left to go to the car to eat snacks and what was left of our lunch. As the rain subsided and the sun came out, the kids voted to return to the park. We ended up being there from 10 am to 11 pm with lots to do for all ages. Sarah (age 3) and I shut down the SpongeBob 3D ride as poor Sarah had to go to the bathroom. Security met us at the exit, took our glasses and marched us out. It was so funny. When Tate and Abby came out of the ride, they said that there was an announcement that, if anyone else got up and stopped the movie part of the ride, they would shut it down and not restart it for the children who where in the theatre. We did not expect that at a children's fun park. We celebrated Ty's 12th birthday that day and the day after. His wish was to have strawberry cheesecake which we all enjoyed. By the time we took them home, we were all happily exhausted.

Summer with the Kids

We had a great time with the kids this summer. A month at Green Acres included John and I having all of them over for a July 1st Mystery Dinner. It was a big hit with parents and kids. Lots of pajama parties with the grandchildren provided loads of fun. Then, at the end of June, John and I moved on to the Holstein Rodeo for a weekend. We met up with Rick and Bonnie as well as met friends of theirs, Bob and Nancy. Cowboy hats and boots were the attire for the weekend while we enjoyed lots of country and western artists and music.
