Day 7, Another Action Packed Day

Our seventh day was highlighted by the chance to see Cullen at his last skating lesson. About a 15 minute drive away, the Trico Centre is an amazing facility with 2 ice rinks, a wave pool, water slide, gym and a host of other amenities. There are so many activities for kids and adults I won't even attempt to list them, check the link for a better picture. As much as I'd love the kids to be closer, this is the type of advantage that they just couldn't experience in TBay.

Having seen videos of Cullen skating let us know that he is improving, but they don't let you see how much fun he is having. He's excited to go and loves every minute. He's moving along, taking short little strides with both feet and when he does fall he pops right back up. I've seen many, many kids push with one leg or spend 5 minutes struggling to get back to their feet. 

Before his lesson we went for our daily trip to the Red Park, the boys scoffed at my suggestion of trying another park. Campbell is gliding up to about 30 feet at a time down any section with a slight grade on the strider. If he hadn't skipped pedalling the tricycle he would most likely be on a 2 wheeler before the end of the summer. Back at the house the boys played with bubbles, watered the garden and then Campbell napped.

AJ and Jess came over for the evening. Hot dogs, marshmallows and a few beverages around a fire with the whole gang. It doesn't get much better than that. We got rained on for a few minutes but no one moved. The boys were snuggled under blankets in a small tent and stayed up well past their bedtime.
