On Saturday our family hit the highway with Pam's family to head north to Toronto. Mike, Mark, Ron and Kaitlyn had tickets to a Maple Leaf game. They were pretty excited, especially because they were playing the Red Wings who have a lot of familiar players on their team! We stayed at the Harbour Castle right on the water. If you have ever been hesitant about using Price*line.com don't be! We paid $85 for a $269 room! We actually had adjoining rooms so we could enjoy each other's company for 24 hours straight!
After we checked in we went for a walk and ended up in The Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner.
Notice Jade's wavy hair. Well on Friday night we put in a lot more braids and boy oh boy was her hair wild!! Mark told her she had an Afro which caused her much embarrassment. We wet it down a little to calm it down. She still had wave in it at the end of the day.
This group had a fabulous time. They loved the excitement of the hockey game...even Kaitlyn who doesn't like loud noises! On the way back to the hotel they were approached by a homeless woman with no teeth begging for money. She told the kids to "Stay in School". Mark is still talking about it today. It's amazing what an impact it had on him.
Pam and I stayed in the hotel with Jade, Jessica and Emily. The girls put their bathing suits on and we packed up some "wiggly pops" as Ron called our coolers and sat by the pool. We were there for close to 4 hours! The girls were having an absolute blast. It was really nice to sit and visit. It's always amazing how we can talk for so long and still have more to say!!
Jade is showing off her big muscles here...she's so proud of them!
Pam and I sat on this window ledge until 2:30 am (still) talking and looking out the window. People were still walking their dogs at that time of night!!

What a fun way to spend the weekend. Good friends and good fun. Love hockey. Your daughter is so cute!
hugs and have a good week.
So glad to hear you all had a great weekend! Don't you love roadtrips with good friends???
So funny you mention Jade doing that to her hair (which looks so cute, by the way). Paige has informed me that she would like to do this on picture day...I am afraid I would screw it up and it would look awful, so I have convinced her to do it the day after : )
Love your pics!
