August Family Vacation 2009

This year our family vacation was day trips all week. We went to Florida in March so we didn't do a lot since they had their big trip earlier in the year.


Here we are at Ontario place. The girls and I have never been there and we really enjoyed it. It was a beautiful day got a little chilly by the end but we were done by then so that was okay with us.





Here we are on heading up the big slide.










Madi loved it and we had to do it 3 more times.


It was caribana week and it was so loud there but a lot of fun and great smells.



We probably stayed the longest in this room - The Atom Blaster


If anyone knows Madi they know she loves balls since she was small in fact her first word (other than Mommy/Daddy) was ball. Well this room at Nerf balls you could shoot at people around the room - Madi was in heaven (so was Mommy) - it was so much fun and we even went back later to it.

I think Daddy was pretty into it as well.



Below - this area was for toddlers, soft cushions, little slides, and lots of large lego pieces to build. Madi is surrounded by a large purple lego octopus.





Did I mention - I LOVE HER??!!!









Below - this play structure took a little convincing for Madi to go in but she did and of course needed to to do it 3 more times!! I can't believe how fearless she can be at times. To be up that high walking through the clear plastic tubes and you can see how high up from the ground it is. She went through like she has done it a thousand times.





The girls making their way through the maze.



Dani on the left, Madi just about to come through the tubes.


Jillian is waiting back because she wants to be able to go through quickly (not as confident as Dani and Madi). She would wait until Madi made it through and she go through fast to get to the other mesh piece.


Dani the fearless one!



Madi right behind her!



Jill a little reluctant but still going!!


Phew here she comes!


Jill really happy to be through out of the clear tubes!




Madi, Daddy and Jill waiting for the peddle boats.



This building we ended up somehow on the top of it, poor Jill was terrified we were going to get into trouble. We ended up having to jump a few gates (with a stroller) to get out because we didn't want to go back the way we came it was a far walk.





Clearly the weight isn't equally distributed.


They let Madi steer the boat and were laughing because they kept going in circles but she loved it.



There we are!!

The view from the top of the building we walked through! Ooops! Nice view of Toronto



Waiting for the bumper boats to start - it was a lot fun to bad Madi was a little small to go on.



Me and Dani in the back of the photo waiting to go!!


Jill waiting a little ways away from us.



And we are off........



I was enjoying it a little too much!!


Dani bumping me!







The three Amigos!!





A wee bit big for her


Madi isn't in any of the following pictures because she was wiped out and Daddy was walking her around while she slept.










some cool boat that went by - we told Madi it was a pirate ship - Arghhhh Matey!






Madi trying on her new bathing suit from Oma and Opa with the new scarf and toque from a friend of Oma's and Opa's!! She is so funny.


She is crazy! Good picture for her wedding day.


Sandbanks 2009 - A day visit with my cousin Natalie and her family
Mommy and Madi digging for treasures (shells)


It wasn't the greatest day (as you can see Natalie in a sweater) but we still got a little burn with sunscreen!

Dani, Madi and Marcus (Natalie and Paul's son)



A really cool caterpillar on our deck (it turns into a moth not very exciting)




This sign was written for instructions for people coming to Madi's party to know to go to the backyard. People started signing it so I thought I would take a picture of it.

Below - Madi received this frisbee from the Trenton Air show and she likes to pretend she is a doctor - not sure what the paper is for but she wore it around all day.

Oh and if you can see she is wearing Daddy's sandals too!! She has always worn our shoes!!


She cracks me up!!


My girl!!
