The first big chapter of summer this year was the trip to visit Aunt Tracey & Uncle Brian, & cousins Hallie & Emillie. Cadence had a BlAST living on the beach from morning til night every day. We took our time on the way there, stopping at the Railway Museum & here we are at the Port Severn locks. We even got to see a boat go through!
When we finally arrived on day 2 of the trip, a week before Cadence's birthday, everyone had organized a surprise train-themed birthday party! We played pin (stick) the tail on the donkey, and I, not being clued in on the fact that I'm supposed to let a) the kids, and/or b) the birthday boy win, did my best to win the game. Oops.
Best cake ever...thankfully I don't think I'm expected to match this :)
Really, Cadence was sooo happy on the beach--playing boats, digging in the sand, trenches...the highlight I think was when his cousins' giant moat/fort started to wash away and so they decided to build a new one further inland, and offered C. their old one. He happily moved in.
Other highlights of the trip included: trip to the dinosaur mini-putt (totally run down & ratty, yet totally fun. Also the should-be-illegal zoo, that happened to have the best ever playground field full of every kids' amusement equipment you could possibly imagine (including a giant sandbox filled with nothing but toy construction vehicles). Here is Cadence on his way out the door with his packed lunch (we've been practising for school).
While there we celebrated Canada Day, with a full day on the beach & then good ol' games (full belly laugh hysterics with the 3-legged & pillowsack races....), dinner on the beach, then of course sparklers & my (and cadence's) first ever DIY fireworks! It was all really amazing. Happy Canada Day!!!
