Victoria Day fireworks

We've been to Canada's Wonderland a few times now and every time I go I see a Victoria Day fireworks poster. You have yet to see your first fireworks so I thought that it would be a good idea to take you this year. The only downside to it was that it was going to start at 10pm and your bedtime is at 8pm. Plus, the children's side of the park closes at 9pm so even if we go you won't be able to ride anything until the 10pm start time. Nevertheless I still wanted to take you. Daddy, being the boring guy that he is, thought that I was crazy for wanting to take you. Yes, it's inconvenient and a hassle, but that's what makes life fun. The best memory I have growing up are the spontaneous things that my parents did. I remember them taking all 3 of us to Ontario Place when we were young to see fireworks and I remember how fun that was. Yes, it was way after our bedtime, but the fact that I still remember it is saying something. Daddy doesn't have any childhood memories so I'm hoping that you will remember your childhood and think that you had a positive upbringing :-)

This says it all- look how happy and excited you are. You actually thought that the rollercoaster
was the fireworks. You didn't know what to expect so you just assumed the lights on the rollercoaster
was the fireworks. I had to show you google images of what real fireworks looked like so you
understood.

We got to the part at 9pm, but it was already packed. We sat in front of the mountains.
We were glad that Auntie Jess, Uncle Wayne and Emma were at the park. We got to watch the
fireworks with them.

Aidan and mommy.

Emma, all bundled up. It was waaaaaaaay past her bedtime too :-(

Auntie Jessica had funnel cake! Mmmmmm.

Crazy eyes.
Actually, you were patiently waiting for the fireworks to start. Since you know how to tell time now
you were waiting for the clock to turn to 10pm.

Tired, but happy to be here.

Look at your face seeing the fireworks!

It was a special time and I'm so glad we went.

We actually had a nightmare of a time getting out of the parking lot because everyone was leaving at the same time. It took almost an hour to get out and I ended up getting a nail in my tire. We got home close to midnight :-S

Even with all the chaos at the end I wouldn't change the experience for the world!
