End of summer

What a wonderful way to end our summer. We spent it pretty much the same way we started it, with a visit to Bell Park. As predicted, the Labour Day Family Fun Fest was quite busy. We arrived from the lakeside, having parked by the canoe club. I think we timed it fairly well. I had hoped to arrive a little earlier, but we left home at 10am.

The line ups for the bouncers were not too long for my kids, and they were able to jump in the castle as long as they pleased, or until someone landed on them, and they left crying. We got two new firefighter hats, to replace the broken one at home. We went for food at the perfect time. It was close to noon, so the kds were ready to eat, and the line hadn't gotten too long yet. On our way back to get cotton candy, it had doubled in length.

As added bonus, while waiting for cotton candy, they handed out free ice cream sundae cups. Messy, but yummy. Lots of sugar for the kids, but we were heading back to the van with a stop at the play structure by the main beach. The kids burnt off the sugar, and played just long enough to wear them out slightly. When I suggested it was time to head home, there were few arguments. The kids were hot, and in need of a rest.

Tomorrow is the first day of school. I have to make sure my daughter has everything from her list in her school bag. And, I have to start thinking about the dreaded lunches. Just a few more hours of summer, please.
