CANADA's WONDERLAND!!!

We have really strived to take advantage of the only summer Mike has off. This means weekend trips!!! We decided it was the best value to get a season's pass to Cedar Point. Little did we know that it included all these other parks and Canada's Wonderland being one of them. After realizing that our good friends Mike and Katie Ryan live in Ancaster, we knew we wanted to try and fit it in.
Mike and Katie were so great to put us up for a long weekend and we had a blast. It was great to be back in Canada, although Ontario is quite different from Calgary it was still home.
Jack just turned 2 and boy is he a boy. Vienna loved having someone to play with as usual. She loved Zan so much (Mike's dog)


OH CANADA!!! There are so many things I love about Canada, here are a few...its so clean, the roads are well maintained, the chocolate and 5 cent candies can't be beat, Superstore, the accent I can now notice, the yummy cereal selection, more "green" in general etc. Those are just some!


Vienna and her Daddy. They are such good buddies, she is going to miss him on Mondays when he goes back to school.

Mike and his son Jack-a-loo
Katie and I
Me with my little V


I was surprised at how well Vienna did on some of the little kiddy rides. She loved them. She did so well, especially for a NO-nap day!

Vienna in her car, honking and driving even.
All buckled in on the car/train ride. She LOVED it! We had her saying "CHOO CHOO" after we'd say chugga, chugga, chugga... It was adorable. (Look at those curls!!!)
Mike, Katie and Jack in the train behind us.
On the train doing
Itsy, Bitsy Spider, her absolute favorite action song.
On the carousel, which she also loved! She was petting it's mane and saying neigh over and over. Oh I loved it.
The mess Vienna and Jack made a hundred times over throughout the weekend.

Mike also got to try his very first Canadian Slurpee. He did notice a difference, but we are not big slurpee drinkers so it was tough to do a good comparison.
We had a great trip!!!
