Our Week with Debbie

No blog posts from me means that we likely have an out of town visitor. This past week my cousin Debbie came from BC for a visit. We had a wonderful time catching up, enjoying quality chats, going on adventures, playing games and just spending time together.

I didn't have a camera handy for some of our day trips and on others just didn't take many photos. One morning we went to the winery where David works and had a picnic lunch with him in the vineyard. We then went to the orchard down the road to pick peaches. So fun!

Another day Debbie, the kids and I went to the Niagara zoo together.

One evening we got a baby-sitter (while the kids were sleeping) and went to Niagara Falls to go mini golfing (thanks for the tickets Sonya and Gary). We had a great time mini golfing and wandering Clifton Hill. We then watched the fireworks over the falls. It was so great to get out for an evening without the kids.

Debbie schooled us!

On Saturday we headed out to St. Jacob's to take in the market and walk the old town. This is our favourite time of year to go there since all the fresh produce is available. Great quality and prices!

On Monday we went to the CNE in Toronto. We wondered how the kids would do with so many day trips but they were wonderful!

Looking at the animals.

They had a kids agriculture area set up. The kids had to go through a series of small buildings and set ups to learn more about various kinds of farming. Sarah was keen to milk the "cow."

Loved picking the apples. It seems that almost all of our photos are of her back since she was always running off to the next activity.

Loved fishing.

She was a big fan of riding the pretend horses.

So excited to go for a ride in the barrel (there were about 6 in a row).

David recycled and won a bag. Lucky guy.

Sarah met Dora and Diego. David had to stay close since she still gets pretty freaked out at large costumed people.

In the science centre.

Debbie and little Calvin.

Thanks for the fun times Debbie!
