Canada's Wonderland

We had seasons passes to the amusement park Canada's Wonderland located above Toronto, about 70 minutes from our house.  They have a great big water park that Avalon especially enjoyed.  The above picture is of her in the wave pool.

My sisters' youngest child, Freya, also enjoyed the edges of the wave pool.

When I think of Avalon, this is how I think of her - she is always giggling and silly! Trinity didn't want to get her hair wet, so she spent a bit of time on a lounger.  We then went off to the rides and dried of quickly because it was such a hot day!


My niece and nephew having pure fun on one of the rides (in above picture) on one of our trips toward the end of the season in October, actually this was the last trip this season to the Park.  It was a bit chilly - we needed gloves and scarves but didn't bring any - we soldiered on.  There were no waiting lines - the kids were able to walk right on the rides and go on them over and over.  For Halloween Haunt they had the kids "trick or treat" throughout various stations set up throughout the park (I helped them eat the candy!)

They also have "Dinosaurs Alive" - robotic true to life sized dino park! Freya (who is four) was pretty terrified of them - she spent the whole time in the park cowering behind my legs - I managed to coax her to run over to her brother for a picture - but she didn't make it over to him before a loud "roar" could be heard and she ducked from the dino and ran back to me! ha ha Always a good time at Canada's Wonderland!  The only thing that spoils it is that they don't allow outside food or drinks - they used to allow it - but they then decided to ban all food and drink and put their food/drink prices through the roof.  Example: about $10.00 for a sub.  So, a day at a park costs about a hundred dollars for the day!
