The end of our visit is almost near, but we have had a really great time. Another visit to a farm yesterday led me to ask “How many adults do we need to take a toddler to a farm?”. The answer was four, Opa, Hubby, A and myself.
“J” is stocked up and ready to go. He has another new bike. The first one wasn’t quite right so Opa decided this one was much better. He loves it that’s for sure, all it is missing is a cup holder for Mom and we would be all set.
We also took a trip to the Science museum, “A” & “J” had lots of fun running through the Nortel tunnels and bouncing in the playroom. I was sitting watching all the families at the museum and was wondering if one day any of those kids will actually be hanging around with “J”. There were also quite a few cute little girls, which made me think, anyone of those could end up being a girlfriend for “J”. You just never know.
“J” and I are taking a trip!! We are packing our suitcases (which are sitting on hold at Winners as I type) and heading to Regina! Now, hold onto your hats, Regina may not be the most exciting stop on the World tour, but it does have 5 very important things. My Sister, Brother-in-Law, two Neices and a Nephew. This will be our first big trip without Hubby and it will be the longest Hubby and I have been apart since we have been together (that is 11 years, folks!) I hope we can make it.
I have been to Regina before, but never for this long. The good thing is that there is lots to do with kids. Due to their usually harsh winters and sometimes scorching summers, there are many places geared towards bringing your kids to get them out and about. I am very excited to see some of the places my sister has talked about as well as perhaps MooseJaw. I stopped there once on a bus ride to Banff, apparently they have some awesome hotsprings. Thank goodness, my sister just had a baby and I won’t feel bad about being a little jiggly in a bathing suit. But, will be working on it starting today.
So May is turning out to be a very fun filled month for me, I only hope that June, July and August prove to be just as exciting!
And no luck with Opa yet, but am working on a second fall visit. The bug is planted.
I never knew that having so much fun can knock the socks off of you. I have been crashing early every night and I cannot believe how exhausted we all can be from simply having fun. Oh what on earth am I going to do when Opa goes home??? I miss him already and he still has another week here with me. Anybody have suggestions on how we can get Opa to move back to Ottawa? Any ideas how to make the weather not so hot for him, oh wait a minute, then I would be sad. Well, all we can do is make sure he enjoys his visits and continue with our plan on making our basement enjoyable for possible long term stays in the future. Until then we will just love our visit and hope he comes again in the fall.
