COUSIN FUN - Day 3 - Canada's Wonderland

What a fun day!  I keep thinking that one day I want to get passes to Wonderland again, but for right now, it's fun that going is such a big deal, and that it doesn't happen very often.  Last time we came was two years ago.  Alice was almost 18 months and not really old enough to have fun.  I was excited to hang out with Michelle and Lovey and do the fun kiddie rides. 

One of the many reasons that today was totally awesome, Ken kept Fiona!  I wasn't sure how I was going to manage exactly, I would have made it work, but goodness I'm so glad I didn't have to manage a one year old!  

We went on lots of rides.  I wanted to list them, just because!  So I did!
1. Snoopy's Space Race - just the kids
2. Snoopy vs. the Red Baron - airplanes - just the kids
3.  Kate - Ghoster Coaster  Alice - Carousel
4. Sally's Love Buggies - Kate, Alice and I
5. Woodstock Whirlybirds (spinny ride) -  The girls and I
6. Joe Cool's Dodgem School (Bumper cars) - the girls - twice
7. Snoopy's Revolution (ferris wheel) - Michelle, the girls and I
8. Pumpkin Patch - Michelle and the girls
LUNCH
9. Chopper Chase - all the girls - two different choppers
10. Jokey's Jalopies - Kate, Alice and I
11. Frequent Flyers - the girls
12. Silver Streak - Lovey and I, Jumpin' Jet - Michelle, Kate, Alice
13. Blast Off - Lovey, Alice
14. DINOSAURS - Andrew, Seth, Lovey, Kate, Alice, and I

One of my favourite moments was seeing the glee on Kate and Alice's faces during the bumper cars!  (Kate's teacher's daughter went on the bumper cars, and her teacher had told the class about it.)  Kate was determined to go on the bumper cars.  I wasn't sure if she would like it, but she did.  She loved it.  The other girls did too!

Proudest moment was Kate riding the ghoster coaster.  She was so proud of herself.  (See picture below!)  I thought for sure she'd walk off, but she didn't.

Kate was also super excited about driving a car.  She drove the old fashioned car with Alice beside her in the front seat.  I sat in the back seat.  It was adorable.  I kept thinking, in a few more years this will be for real!

Seth, got to say a word about Seth!  He was awesome!  He's in that awkward, almost tall enough for all the rides, but isn't.  He was not about the kiddie rides, but he went on them at the beginning and throughout the day when needed.  He looked a little glum here and there, but really, he was awesome!  Next time you come Seth, you'll be tall enough for EVERYTHING! 

The girls really did keep it together. Alice, Lovey and Kate had lots of fun together.  (Except the one part at lunch when Kate might have acted like a goat when Lovey might have reminded her again that she was younger but taller, oh and to stop interrupting.  Little girls are funny!) We had a great day together.  It was awesome being with family.  It was just a great day! 

And the best picture of them all!  I can't remember how much it was, but it was ridiculously over priced, but I just couldn't pass it up!  Look at that face!
