Wonderland!

Michael started working for a new company a couple months ago. It's a really great company with a fantastic crew. He's really enjoying it. I'm happy for him. It's right up his ally. One of the nice things about this company is they understand how important family time is so two weekends each September they offer free tickets to Canada's Wonderland for employees and their families. The day we chose to go was Sept 10th. The weatherman was calling for rain all day (and even a tornado watch) but that didn't stop us. It poured down rain on our drive there, but we were not worried; we had our handy dandy Dollarama rain ponchos and were completely prepared to be soaked.

However, the rain stopped, and despite the mostly cloudy sky, the day was perfect. Lineups for the rides were short (the park was not very busy at all -- probably due to those tornado warnings). The longest we waited for any ride was about 10 minutes.

We took a picnic lunch to eat in the parking lot. Healthier and much less expensive than buying park food. And afterwards we went to the Pickle Barrel for dinner.

We all had a blast.

We're already looking forward to next year!! :) Next year maybe I'll go on the two biggest roller coasters (Behemoth and Leviathan) with Owen and Michael -- MAYBE. This year I was too chicken, and don't worry, they don't let me forget it. :)
