OK!!! Now I have to tell.... Our family won a big prize package from Attractions Ontario!
I entered a weekly summer draw for some cool activities to do in Ontario....Having never won anything before, I was quite skeptical when I received an email saying I won one of the top prizes!!!
So after calling the office manager of Attractions Ontario, she confirmed(after she laughed at me) saying it was true. So here is what we won, worth $500:

Muskoka Trip (northern Ontario)

One nights stay in hotel
family passes to: Santa's Village theme park
Lady muskoka dinner cruise (3 hr cruise of lake Muskoka)
Pass for Mini golf
Pass for paintball
Pass to Muskoka Heritage museum/Pioneer village and steam train ride
$20 gift card for Tim Hortons (coffee shop)

We are so excited to go on this trip, cause there would be no way we could afford it this year!
Pictures will come after we come back. We are hoping to go the second week of Aug.
We also have friends that live in that area and we are going to have a visit with them too!

SUMMER!!

Well now... I'm not the best at this journalling stuff, as you can see I keep forgetting to post here... Really, I'm going to try and post more....
What's new? We have been busy, as always. For my birthday this year we decided to do a family thing and take a drive to Port Dover/Lake Erie area to see an authentic re-enactment from the war of 1812. It was a hot sunny day and it was awesome to learn about the United Empire Loyalists in this region and the war atmosphere of this time period. It was great to really feel like we were spectators of the actual war... we visited the army camp and talked to *soldiers* and it felt real.... Of course being in Dover we HAD to stop for a famous *Arbour Dog* hotdog (and icecream)
