We took a few days to go to a Vacation Resort called Val Cartier in Quebec
(about 20 minutes from Quebec City) - a MUST do park (and cleaner than Blizzard Beach that Noah & I went to at Disney)!!!
We invited Noah's friend (Isaac) and his little sister (Destiny) to join us, to let them have some good ole' fashion fun after a very hard year
(their mom was diagnosed with cancer and is starting chemo this summer).
It was their first time at a water park, so happy we got to experience it with these cuties!
Noah and Isaac have been the best of friends since we moved to
Grand Falls a few years ago.
It was quite interesting packing for 3 children (rather than just Noah). Not only did we have more seats used up but this also meant we had less space to pack MORE luggage!!! We made it (barely) - don't know how The Duggars do it!!!
This was the view from our camp ground - of most of the water park! As I pumped air mattresses for our TEE PEE tent, everyone else admired the view!
We all went swimming, but I only lasted a short while
because the water was TOO darned cold!
We taught Isaac & Destiny how to make a tee pee out of the wood to start a camp fire!
One of the highlights for Isaac & Destiny was brushing their teeth outside
- they had NEVER done that before!!!
OH the technology!!! After our first campfire (the first night)...we all snuggled in our beds and watched a movie on our net book using some iPod speakers for all of us to hear!!!
Here's a pretty good view of our tee pee and camp site! Jacques was making me some yummy breakfast - we started a new tradition (fry some onions, then add some canned potatoes, then some canned ham, then scramble some eggs in this mixture, then add some cheese! OH MY YUMMMM!)
Here's a view of the inside of our tee pee. In order to earn some $$$ for the arcade, we made them make a skit and perform it for us! Hey, it was a win/win! We got some quiet, they had an activity and they got money for the arcade!
On our last night, we told ghost stories (or scary stories). I told them of a flactuating man who pumps air mattresses for little girls (Jacques). It ended up being such a funny 'scary' story that all of us were laughing so hard we were crying! They didn't know what flactuate meant, so when I told them - did we EVER laugh!
What a great time away - but by the morning we came home Isaac & Destiny were SOOOO excited to get home to see their momma! So glad they came with us!
