The end of our Ontario visit

We had such a great time visiting with family and friends in Ontario.  On Thursday, we ordered pizza and spent our last night in Essex visiting with Grandma and Skyping Mom in BC.  On Friday we packed up our things and had a short visit with some old friends of my parents, who had driven in to see us.  We left Grandma's around 1 pm and headed to the Dairy Freez just outside of town to meet my friend Kim and her kids for lunch.  We soooo look forward to a trip to the Freez whenever we get to Essex!  We ordered our lunch and when she brought it to us, she announced that their power had gone out and that we couldn't get any of our milkshakes or Boston Coolers!  UGH!!!! That also meant no ice cream desserts!!!!! We ate our lunch hoping that the power would come back on before we had to leave, but it didn't happen. :(

We said good bye to Kim and set out on the road to Acton, Ontario (near Toronto) to visit our dear friends, the Sheepwashs, who had just moved to Acton from BC.  We miss them terribly!  We arrived at their house around 9pm and was warmly greeted with hugs and lasagna!  We had so much fun with them.  The bigger children walked to the local pool for a swim while the little guys stayed at the house and enjoyed the slip and slide.  That night we made s'mores around a campfire in their backyard.  Nathan missed out on the roasted marshmellows because he fell asleep in his lawn chair....so cute.

We left Sunday morning, well 1pm....morning for the James :) and are now in St. Hyacinthe, Quebec.  We rolled in late (around 11:00 pm), ate a quite supper and went to sleep.  We are now all having showers and packing up to leave.  We hope to get at least half way through New Brunswick today.

Good bye for now... miss you all.  Talk to you soon.
