Canada's Wonderland

There is something about watching a little kid's face light up when they see or experience something new.  Our day didn't start off on a good note, it was raining and we were questioning whether to actually go or not.  I looked at Darryl and said "well it can't rain all day, it hasn't this summer" so off we went, through the rain and walked up to the gates. 

Inside we purchased ponchos so that we didn't get wet or sick, even if the rain continued they keep some of the rides open unless they see lightning.  So we waited, I took Gwen and Mylee with me to Snoopy Planet and the big kids Kiya and Jason stayed with Darryl.  Fifteen minutes into the Boo Blaster line and the rain stopped, the sun actually peaked out for a little while and off the big kids went on Leviathon.  I am so proud of Kiya, she is getting more and more brave as the years go by and that roller coaster is a doozy.

The girls and I stuck to the easy fun rides in the kiddie area, we ran from ride to ride and sometimes didn't leave the rides for another turn on it. It was quite and adventure watching Gwen, who had never been, enjoy everything that was going on.  And then guess what....

The sky opened up and it poured rain, I think I waded through some 6 inch puddles along the way.  Darryl called and said "Let's stop for lunch meet us at ..." and yeah dragging 2 kids with me we walked back to the gate to go find lunch.  Our feet were soaked but we made it a game, I mean why not, it wasn't cold and well we were getting wet anyway.

So the day progressed as always, and it didn't rain again after that second big shower so we had run of the place, no lines, no line jumpers, it was awesome!!! I am glad we went, and at the end of it all I was tired, Darryl had fun and the girls were passed out cold.
