This Is Where We Have Been Lately
WATER PARK WATER PARK WATER PARK WATER PARK WATER PARK!
I love this place!! I believe the story behind it is that someone died, left a million dollars for a children's park in the "south end" of Sarnia, and voila! we have a beautiful water park and brand new playground equipment! hooray!Julia is in love with the park. Constantly running in and out of the spray toys, and then up to the lifeguards to tell them she got wet. ha. The guards are SO SO SO NICE!! They always remember our names and give us good advice of which tickets to buy for the best entrance costs.
Small town vibes: when i walk through our market, people know us and talk to us. We smile and they give us free cookies or licorice sometimes. At the gas station today, i saw the older gent who sells cars across from our home and he greeted us cheerfully. Must be a small town. People look, smile, and talk to you!! I love it. Sometimes i walk just to see people and talk. Julia enjoys it as well. I think she catches on fast to 'adult style' conversation. For example, at the market this morning, she talked to the strawberry lady for a few minutes, it went something like this:
"I went strawberry picking!! I WENT STRAWBERRY PICKING TOO!!(second time for empasis, in case she wasn't listening)"
"I looked under the bush, and saw a little red one" (as she acts out holding a tiny little berry and stares at it with eyes crossed, i'm sure!)
"then we put them in the strawberry boxes"
"I mashed them and we made jam"
jabberjibberjabber.
it is hilarious to listen and watch her talk in conversation with people, especially ones she barely knows. makes me laugh!
Soooooooooooooooo that's enough of my jibberish for today. love to all.

hi again!
that water park DOES look like great fun!
looks like you all definetly keep busy - dress making, strawberry picking, jam making......
u can email US @ markandcindy.surujbali@sympatico.ca
talk 2 u soon
wow looks like so much fun! is this a free park?
I would be going daily! I hope you enjoy the weather!
not free, too bad. but they have to maintain it and pay the lifeguards...so it is only 1.25 for the splash park, and 2.50 if you want the splash park AND the pool. :) not bad, eh? :)
bonus: the lifeguard girl said to me that if they see us a lot, and like us...sometimes they let us in for free. :)
Such lovely jibberish my dear. I want to move there. Sounds lovely.
anti
That is soo cheap! Wow.. I wish we had something like that around here!!!
That is great, it must keep you cool!!
Sounds like Sarnia's the place to be! Got any rooms for rent? I think we're losing the small town feel here.
Julia's a real water bug isn't she. Pretty soon it'll be swimming lessons. She sure has fun (and so do you).
hey cam!! it was just JUST built in the last month or two. it is at Tecumseh park. just down the street from us!! you probably swamthere as a kid. or snuck in after hours to swim....hhaha.
nice to hear from so many of you!!
yes, dad we will have rooms to rent soon. ha! once we start working on the attic guest room that is.
Julia is a water bug. We haven't been in a pool for a bit now, but you remember her swimming by herself, i'm sure she'll still be interested in that. :)
love to all.
That is great! I am glad you are finding your place in Sarnia! We have public wading pools all over the city, actualy there is one just down the road from us, but i don't think that one will be opening this summer. Anyway, there is one with a water park similar looking to yours, and it is such a blast for the kids! I loved taking kids there from the shelter in the summer. Can't wait till Corrie can join in the fun. This year we will just take her swimming to lakes and such!
Happy water dancing
