We're Back

We are back to school today after a extremely wonderful vacation. I just have to say that I spent last week with the silliest, cheesiest grin on my face as I watched my children experience so many new things. The hotel staffs at both places were phenomenal and the people in Ontario were so kind and polite everywhere we went.

We came back using the Tunnel and the traffic was very heavy, so we craaaalwed through which gave Jordan lots of time to worry about the structure and strength of the tunnel walls. I started singing water-themed songs which did not help any, but gave me a laugh.

Pictures in no particular order:

Our view from the hotel window

The dog's favorite position

Cold pizza; Breakfast of champions. LOL!

Hot sauna rocks

As Jackson described: "Dead animals" at the bird sanctuary museum

Canada geese

Pheasants and turkeys

The puppy traveled so well! He enjoyed his regular walks, was afraid of the elevator and slid across the marble floors.

Day 3 & 4

We are having so much fun and will definitely come back soon. We have stayed in H*lid*y In*s where kids e*t free and boy have my kids made good use of that. LOL!

We have done lots of sight seeing, just driving around, swimming and also went to the bird sanctuary. Later we are going to an indoor fun center with batting cages, go karts and other amusements. This has been so fun, educational and relaxing.

Oh Canada! Day 1 & 2

We spent the first day and 1/2 in Windsor. We had a very talkative Customs Officer who actually pulled us over so he could pet our puppy. Turns out he has a black schnauzer that has similar markings as ours. He really did not pay too much attention to us for loving on the dog. LOL!

Crossing the Ambassador Bridge

Crane statues on the river

A Boy & His NASCAR

My boy loves his NASCAR.

Opening Day of Spring Break

Our 1st day of spring break was GREAT!! The weather was beautiful and we got lots done outside. Big Bertha was uncovered and opened and she started right up. We also opened our pop-up which I call, 'Lil Tag-a-Long.

The boys raked about 2 bags of leaves and we uncovered and took down the picnic table, put the basket ball hoop back up and uncovered way more bikes than I care to mention. BTW, If anyone knows of a program that takes old bikes and repairs them to give to children in need, please let me know.

Our puppy loved running around the yard with ears just a flappin' BBQ dinner ended a great day.

Wrapping Up!!

We are finishing up school so that we can start our late spring break. I wanted to wait a little longer to be sure that we did not have snowy weather while traveling North. Wednesday will be our last day and then we will take 7 - 10 days off. We will be traveling to Canada for a lovely vacation and also do some chilling at the house. I hope to get our motor home uncovered and restocked for the camping season and usually once we get it uncovered and cleaned out, we end up spending a night out there because everybody misses camping.

I have started shopping for next years curriculum. It's like a part time job. LOL!
