The Francis Home World

We soared over the country side early Sunday morning and landed in Ottawa.  I was blessing with sleeping children throughout the majority of the flight.

Monday was jam packed filled with water fun in order to beat the heat!  I can't believe I survived living the heat and humidity of Ontario for 18 years.

Our first stop was the Andrew Hayden Park waterplayground... well it was more of a mud playground.  But the kids loved it nonetheless.  Ethan and Mikyla love the shovels and pails Grandma and Grandpa had brought but their favourite was the watering cans.  They just went around watering everything in site.  While the kids played I napped in the shade.  Many late nights and early mornings the days prior to our flight and on the day of our flight made for one tired mom.  Grandma Joy, Grandpa Jack and Great Grandma Paterson took off from there.



 The playground had neat tunnel and channels for the water to run down but he Ethan had more fun climbing the structures!




 We had a lovely picnic lunch and then took Great Grandma back to her place.


The afternoon events included:  Ethan playing at another playground while Mikyla slept, ice cream and swimming at Brittania Beach.  The water was so warm.  At one point it felt soup compared to the air.  Mikyla and Ethan actually swam in the water.  They were little fishes feeding off each others energy while diving under the water.  They were tuckered out by the time we returned back to Aunt Dawn's house.  Ethan had fallen asleep in the car at 5pm and was out for the night.
