At the end of our first week, we went up to Ottawa and stayed for a couple of days. It was really nice to get away for a while. If you ask my kids what their favourite part was they would all unanimously agree (which happens so rarely) that the pool at the hotel was the best part. They spent at least an hour or two in it both evenings that we were there. The best part: doing canon balls (and a few belly flops) into the pool!
Also while in Ottawa, Shane wanted to visit some of the museums. We went to the War Museum and the Aviation Museum. Shane thought both were great. The kids liked parts of the war museum but were much more interested in all the planes at the aviation museum. Liam has loved planes his whole young life (at least since he could tell us anyway) and he was in Heaven at the aviation museum. He followed Shane around and listened to everything that his dad had to say to him. Then he would find his sister and repeat what he had just been told. It made my day just to watch is excitement and enthusiasm! There were a few cockpits that you could go into and see what they looked like inside. Shane and Liam were in their glory. Liam was so interested and in awe that we had a really hard time getting him out of the cockpits each time. I loved to see the amazement on his face. The funny thing is, even with the amount that he loves planes, when asked if he wants to fly them when he gets older, the answer is always no. Oh well, I guess time will tell.
This picture of the kids was taken at the war museum.
The next photos (collage of photos) were taken at the aviation museum.
We also went to The African Lion Safari the week after. I will post some pictures from that adventure another day. Until then, thanks for stopping by and I hope that you are enjoying some quality, memory making time with your families.
