It was a big weekend for my tiny monsters. My aunt, uncle, and little cousin were in town from B.C. and Isaac especially was so excited to have a kid close to his age around to hang out with. We kicked things off with a trip to Heritage Park. Great grandma even came. Isaac loves heritage park, his very favourite things are there... "Mama I found it! I found the big choo-choo! I see the ammimals! Mommy a piggy like Hobo! ICE CREAM! I NEED ice cream!" So ya Hobo is a dog but ok besides the point I guess. The day whirled by in a circle of chaos and ended with vomit soaked car seats but the kids had fun. We ended the night with a pizza party and movie night.
The next day was full on Canada Day celebrations at Calaway Park. It was scorching hot out so we went on any ride we could find involving speed or water to try and keep cool. The kids chugged their juice and were so desperate for hydration the even choked back that disgusting poison we adults refer to as 'water'. We treated them to ice cream and the candy store and ended the day jumping in mud puddles when the rain came. Don't worry that day also involved some vomit in the car.
The final day of our kid centred weekend was spent at the local campground with aunts, uncles, cousins, and great grandma. We set up the kids inflatable pool and brought every pool toy we owned. We packed fresh fruit, veggies, and chips. Great grandma brought doughnuts and timbits. There was lemonade, iced tea, and alcohol for those who chose to indulge. We barbecued burgers and hot dogs and the kids even managed to get their hands on some balloons. Things were chaotic and loud and so much fun! Even Hobo was enjoying some extra love when he got his very own hot dog. Of course in true toddler fashion Zoey ate a few rocks and Isaac thought it would be fun to put a couple up his nose.
I guess you know it was good weekend when it is ended with a pair of tweezers extracting rocks from a toddlers nose and hosing the vomit out of the car.
