Just want to have fun!


This photo was taken this weekend at Ontario Place on the flume ride. My sister and little cousin are sitting in the front row and I am the dork in the middle seat.

Well it was a very busy weekend with my Aunt visiting from the US with my little 9 year old cousin (who I met for the first time IRL). We headed over to Ontario Place on Saturday and boy was it busy. With Caribana and the Chinese Lantern Festival going on the line ups were massive. As I was just about ready to pay to get in, a lady thrust a small slip of paper in my hands. As I was reading it, the man standing in the line behind me told me it was a coupon to get into OP for a great price. He then asked me how many people were in my group and proceeded to give me more coupons so that we all could get in for the sale price. I couldn't believe how nice these "strangers" were to give me these coupons. Thanks!

We went on almost all the rides and had a fun time. My all-time favourite ride is the flume. The line ups for this ride were incredibly long and we were only able to get on it once but still had a blast. I always scrunch up on the way down at the end of the ride and end up looking like a dork (as you can see in the photo). LOL

I really enjoyed seeing the decorations for the Chinese Lantern Festival. This was my first time attending the lantern festival and I was not let down. The lanterns were gorgeous and we enjoyed the event. If you have an opportunity to attend the festival it is worth it!

The only sad part was that my digital camera was acting up again so I ended up taking photos with my film camera and now have to be patient to get the developed.

The weekend went by very fast but what I can tell you is that I am incredibly exhausted after looking after my little cousin. Can you say a bundle of energy! It was a fab visit with lots of great memories!!!

Awesome photo, Elia! Looks like you had a fantastic time, and it's awesome that you were able to meet your little cousin for the first time.

I've always wanted to go to the Chinese Lantern festival. Lucky you! Maybe I'll make it there someday.

Great post!

Now that's a pic you have to scrap!!
Sounds like a great time! Did you get any close ups of the lanterns for us to use as inspiration?
