Been awhile since we updated this silly blog....
Last weekend we were still in Orillia, we had a couple BBQ's to go to, on Saturday we were at Tito Aster's and hung around for the day and on Sunday we went to Michelle's for the day.
Saturday was mostly for the Tito's and Sunday was for the Cousins. Both were a lot of fun and we were able to relax for the day.
On Monday, Canada's Wonderland for the day....we arrived at 11:30am and were completely busy until 8:30pm. From there, we went up to Eileens for the night.
On Tuesday we went to CN Tower and Ontario Science center. Our original intention was to go back to Eileen's, but I got too excited and wanted to go to Thunder Bay ASAP.
We got to off to a slow start because we programmed the GPS to go to Thunder Bay, not paying attention to it, we realized after 1.5 hours, that the GPS was routing us through the US !!! We would have continued, but we had spent all our American money and there were lots of toll booths that we would have to run :-) So, we turned around and head back to Toronto and headed north.
We arrived in Thunder Bay about 3pm and went straight for the hotel to get cleaned up and quick rest. Our first suprise victim was Mom/Dad's place. We drove out to their place, pulled into the driveway and scared my Dad :-)
Mom was at work, more to that in a second.
Second victim was Shelley. Dad called her to see if she was home or working. She was home, so we boogied out to her place and suprised her. She is always weary of my tricks and didn't seem too suprised, oh well. Mom's suprise made up for it.
We drove from Shelley's to Mom's work and sat in the parking lot, waiting for her to come out. As she walked past, we snuck up behind her in the van. We rolled down the passenger window and cleared our throat to get her attention. She didn't recognize the van at first and thought we were going to complain to here that she was walking on the roadway....but when she turned around....WOW !!! She was so excited to see us. The worst part about us coming in early, she had to work the next day, she almost called in sick, but thought better of it because she had 10 days off after this last shift.
We spent 1/2 the day at Dad's place, cleaning up the van and doing laundry. After that, Dad, Shelley and I went to the "Suspension Bridge"....one word WOW !! We crossed the Ouimet Canyon on a suspension bridge and then took a 200 step staircase to the base of it !!! That was a lot of fun.
The rest of the family went to the Amethyst Mine, what a waste of time that was. There was nothing there, just some static displays from the 70's, a dozen tables of Amethyst rock that you could purchase for $3 per pound and a overpriced gift shop. And they charged you $3.00 just for showing up.
Oh well, you win some (suspension bridge) and you lose some.
