Water Slides by Isabelle

On July 7th. we went swimming at some big water slides in Valcartier, Quebec. But, we didn’t go swimming when we first got there because it was dark and the water slides were closed. The next day we got our bracelets and walked from our campsite to the water slides. It was burning hot. We put on lots of sunscreen. One of my favourite slides was Everest. At first it was scary when I saw it because it looked very steep. But then Charmaine said “ I dare you to go down that slide then you don’t owe me my two dollars’’. So I went down the slide and it was so fun. We also went to more slides like Rock n Roll and this one that is in a castle. I went with Dan on that one. Claire went on a slide with me and Charmaine. It is called Amazon. Claire pulled this rope that was connected to a bucket full of water and it got in her eyes. I love water slides. By Isabelle

Family Reunion by Charmaine

From July 2 to the 4 we were at a family reunion in Sherbrooke, Quebec. There were 18 adults and 7 kids. We went to the family reunion because we all wanted to get together. Mostly everyone drove and some people took an airplane

On the second day we went shopping with Auntie Don. She is the second best auntie. I had a fun morning. In the afternoon we went swimming. It was very super hot and the pool was very cold. Auntie Don threw 6 dollars and 6 cents in the pool and we had to dive to go get it. It was fun!

On the 3rd day I learned how to play cribbage. I played Jamie and I won. Then I played Isabelle and I won. Then I played three more people.

On Sunday we were on supper duty. We made Grandpa Wayne’s hot wings. They were super hot and we also had bread, vegetables and two roasts. It was hard to cook that.
Then we also played with lots of Sheila’s school toys. She had a giant yo-yo that was really fun to play with. Then we had a camp fire and we sang songs. I had a fun weekend. By Charmaine

Ottawa by Charmaine

Today we woke up and got ready to go to Ottawa. First we toured the parliament buildings. My favourite part was the library because it was quiet in there. Then we went to the mall to buy the tickets to see Eclipse. Then we had supper at the food court. The movie started at 6:45pm. It was awesome because the new born was fighting the Cullens. The bad news is that Jacob got hurt. I love Twilight. By Charmaine

Ottawa by Isabelle

On June 30 we went to see the Queen. The Queen went to Ottawa for Canada Day but she came a day early. We saw her unveil a statue of Oscar Peterson. Then we went to see stray cats at the Parliament buildings. So then we went on a tour. The best part of the tour was the Senate because it was red. In the back, there were three chairs that were big and pretty. Then we went to the mall and saw Eclipse I liked Eclipse because the Cullens and the wolves got in a fight with the newborns. Then we went back to the campsite and went to bed. By Isabelle

Sandbanks by Charmaine

June 27
Today we went to the beach. It was called Sandbanks. I like the name Sandbanks because I like sand and money comes from banks. We played mermaids. Isabelle was the human and I was the mermaid. The beach was so sandy and cold. I am glad it was not chlorinated water because I don’t like it because it burns my eyes

McDonalds by Isabelle

Today is June 29 and I we went to Mcdonalds for lunch. But before that me, Charmaine, Emily, Isaiah and Claire went to the park. I accidentally put Isaiah down the slide on his bum when you are supposed to put him down on his belly. He just about fell off the slide. He banged his lip and it started to bleed. I felt very bad that he got hurt. At McDonalds I got a Big Mac and a strawberry milkshake. Then we went to get Charmaine, Isaiah and Claire at a sushi restaurant. They had dessert and me and Dan didn’t, so we are going to have dessert later. I love McDonalds. By Isabelle
