We're finally back from Ottawa. It was great fun! Here's a rundown:
- Arrived Tuesday, July 4th.
- Went to IKEA on Thursday - bought way too much stuff and ended up having to rearrange our suitcases to avoid them being over the weight allowance when we flew home!
- Walked downtown on Friday - ran into my cousin Denise (from Edmonton) while walking down Sparks Street. It was bloody hot that day, so we just walked by Parliament on the way home.
- Garth and Jill's for supper on Saturday - Liz, James and Logan came up from Cambridge for the weekend so we could all hang out. Garth cooked some awesome chicken on the bbq and we had a nice evening catching up with everyone!
- Went to the Valleyview Little Animal Farm on Sunday to meet a cyber-friend (Sherry and Jenna from my February 2004 Playgroup on ivillage.com). Garth, Jill, Liz et al came too. Then we went for lunch. Again, it was bloody hot that day. That was also the day that Italy won the World Cup - on our walk that evening, there was an impromptu Italian victory parade we had to endure - that's what we get for being near Little Italy!
- Monday, we met Jill, Liz, James and Logan for lunch at Dow's Lake.
- Tuesday, we went to the Museum of Civilization in Hull with Kathy and the girls. They have a very nice Children's Museum there and Ben had a blast.
- Wednesday we went to a mall and did a little shopping. Gord and Garth went to a concert that night - the Blues Fest was on and The Grande Mothers were playing.
- Thursday we didn't do much at all.
- Friday we flew home.
- Saturday we drove to Dauphin for my cousin Josh's wedding. We had a really good time! Ben especially...
Since then, we've been vegging at home. We went to the zoo today - we have a family pass for the year - which is always fun! Ben went on a pony ride - of course, we didn't take the camera. Why does he want to do these things when we don't have the camera, I'll never know.
That's it, I'm going to bed. Enjoy the barrage of pictures below. And to those of you who have been bugging me for a new blog entry (you know who you are!), I hope this suffices! :)

AH! But you forgot to mention that you also did all the grocery shopping and cooking while you were also doing all those other activities. Though maybe you are just choosing to block that out. We sure appreciated it, either way.
