Weekend activities

On Friday we rented another van, this one until July 10th . We got a good deal with Budget as they still have some vans that are a couple of years old...their price was a good $20 a day less then elsewhere. Weather here this weekend was cool and overcast. Highs of about 14 or 15 but it was off and on drizzly rain almost all weekend.

Anyway, so on Saturday we headed to Scienceworks in Williamstown. It's a lot like the science center in Toronto...lots of hands on stuff for kids. They had a toddler area that the kids really liked as well as a science of sports area that was a big hit. We took lots of pictures so stay tuned for those !

Sunday we headed to the Waves leisure center. Basically a huge wave pool / swimming complex. Again, they had a great toddler pool that the kids loved. They have sprinklers, bubble jets, a slide, and huge waves to keep everyone entertained. Also, they seemed to be able to make the air and water the same temperature so you don't freeze when you get out. Cooper, Wyatt, and Maddie all seem to love the water and will be swimming in no time ! Wyatt and Cooper are fearless. You need to watch them very closely cause they will be in over thier heads in seconds. Wyatt is starting to put his head under water on his own now. We're going to have to get him some goggles or something. Cooper is obsesed with jumping off the edge and into the water. Maddie seems to have enough common sence to keep her head above the water.

That pretty much sums it up. I'll try to put up some pictures soon.

Jeff.

Hi Mel and Jeff,

I did not know about the blog. Thanks to the "Russians", that I had at home for drinking last week, Irina R. mentioned and gave me the link. Thanks for doing such a good job to update Canada on your life down under. It looks as you profit well to see the country.
Nice reading and seeing you. And don't worry, we don't have much of a real summer either - it has been raining for more than 10 days. Milena just graduated and had her prom, it was always raining. Here is a link for you to see her prom pics if you want:
