Summer Vacation 2011 With Our Family Days 4-5

   
Bright and early Saturday Morning we booked the Wheel-Trans Friendly Bus to take the bunch of us downtown to the C.N Tower. We got of picture of Alan on the Friendly Bus, however, the picture we had of Ashtin was somehow mysteriously deleted.







































































































































































































































































Isn't he sweet, he forgot his helmet though 




We arrived at least an hour before the tower opened so Cherisse and Ashtin decided to do the walk of fame.

 Along their walk they found  The Skydome and The Score



Gordon Lightfoot


  

Jim Carrey


                                                        
The Tragically Hip 





The Guess Who



and many, many more.


 While they were on their walk of fame Alan, Kirstin and I walked across the street to the CN Rail and got of picture of Kirstin.
 It's almost time for it to open





A closeup shot

From the CN Tower we took a taxi to the Eaton Center

Now it's, "shop til you drop," until time to go back to the apartment. I need a rest lol!

On Sunday we slept in and then went of a swim.  



Sunday afternoon we took Kirstin to see The Smurfs movie in 3D        


  Here is a couple of rad people with their 3D glasses haha! Love you guys!

Summer Vacation 2011 With Our Family Days 1-3

Our girls have arrived. It makes us very happy to be a whole family together  once again!
                                       

Our granddaughter Kirstin with her plane ticket.  This will be her first time flying and she's very excited.


Wonder of wonders, Air Canada screwed up yet again, instead of landing at 8pm in Toronto they landed up spending the night at the Halifax Airport. 

Having them arrive the following morning while we were down at the hospital doing my physio. This left them to get a taxi to our apartment. In the afternoon Alan and Kirstin went for a walk around our apartment grounds.  Here they are waving up to the rest of us on the balcony!
 It wasn't long before Kirstin hit the pool, where she went at least 1-3 times a day!  Our little fish!
The second day of their vacation.  Alan and I to go to physio again in the morning and in the afternoon we all went shopping.

 

 




Day Three, Friday, we left early for the Ontario Science Center which is only 5 min drive from our apartment.We had a great day and learned so much. Kirstin's favorite spot!
